REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES
During Main Landing Gear (MLG) lubrication, a crack has been visually found on the FWD Lug of the
Wing MLG Rib 6 on an A330 in-service aircraft. This aircraft was Pre Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service
Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and had accumulated 3,638 Flight Cycles (FC) and 25,469 Flight Hours
(FH) at the time of finding.
The crack had extended through the entire thickness of the FWD Lug, at approximately the 4 o’clock
position (when looking forward). Subsequently, several cases have been reported on A330/A340
aircraft.
The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A340 aircraft MSN 0402.
The objective of this Inspection Service Bulletin is to introduce a repetitive Detailed Inspection (DI) to
detect any cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG Rib 6.
NOTE
: This Inspection is applicable to all A330 aircraft. This includes aircraft that are Pre and
Post Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and aircraft that are
Pre and Post Repair Instruction R57256230 or Repair Instruction R57256266 or SRM
57-26-13.
The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin introduces repeat inspections that will ensure that any
through cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing MLG Rib 6 will be identified.
The maintenance consequences of this Service Bulletin are the repetitive inspection requirements.

C. REASON
(1) History
During Main Landing Gear (MLG) lubrication, a crack has been visually found on the
FWD Lug of the Wing MLG Rib 6 on an A330 in-service aircraft. This aircraft was
Pre Mod. No. 49353H14087 (Service Bulletin No. A330-57-3082) and had accumulated
3,638 Flight Cycles (FC) and 25,469 Flight Hours (FH) at the time of finding.
The crack had extended through the entire thickness of the FWD Lug, at approximately
the 4 o’clock position (when looking forward). Subsequently, several cases have been
reported on A330/A340 aircraft.
The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A340 aircraft MSN 0402.
(2) Objective/Action
The objective of this Inspection Service Bulletin is to introduce a repetitive Detailed
Inspection (DI) to detect any cracks on the FWD and AFT Lugs of the LH and RH Wing
MLG Rib 6.

NOTE
: If any crack is detected during the inspections required by (1) or (2),
contact AIRBUS immediately and before next flight, replace the cracked
MLG Rib 6 fitting.
Replacement of the MLG Rib 6 fitting does not constitute terminating
action for the repetitive inspection requirements. However if a new gear
rib has been installed then the first inspection is to be performed within
24 months or 2000FC, whichever occurs first.
This Service Bulletin has been classified Mandatory by the issue of an Airworthiness
Directive (AD) published by the European Av iation Safety Agenc y (EASA). The AD must
be used as the reference document for the mandated accomplishment timescale.
F. APPROVAL
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of Design
Organisation Approv al No. EASA. 21J.031.
If an aircraft listed in the effectivity has a modification or repair embodied that is not of
AIRBUS origin, and which affects the content of this Service Bulletin, the operator is
responsible for obtaining approval by its airworthiness authority for any adaptation necessary
before incorporation of the Service Bulletin.
G. MANPOWER
The manpower estimates given in this Service Bulletin are based on the direct labor cost to
do the work. These estimates assume that the work will be done by experienced personnel,
and may need to be revised upwards to suit operator’s circumstances. The estimates do not

Task 573096-832-895-001 - IN SPECTION
WARNING
: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS
INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.
CAUTION
: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY
AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE) . WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE
WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,
COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO
THIS:
- PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC; AS
NECESSARY ON WIRING AND COMPONENTS.
- REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND
OTHER CONTAMINATION.
THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION
AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.
IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION, REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.
NOTE
: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given
in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words
"refer to" are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local
authority he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the
words "in accordance with" are used then the given procedure must be followed.
NOTE
: The access and close-up instructions, not comprising return to service tests, in this
Service Bulletin do not constitute or affect the technical intent of the Service
Bulletin. Operators can therefore, as deemed necessary, omit or add access and/or
close-up steps to add flexibility to their maintenance operations as long as the
technical intent of the Service Bulletin is met within the set parameters.
NOTE
: Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms.
Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms.
NOTE
: This Service Bulletin is classified mandatory or expected to be classified mandatory
by an Airworthiness Directive (AD). The paragraphs 3.C. and 3.D. in these
accomplishment instructions are Required for Compliance (RC) and must be done
to comply with the AD. Other paragraphs are recommended and may be deviated
from, done as part of other actions or done with accepted methods different from
those given in the Service Bulletin, as long as the RC paragraphs can be done and
the aircraft can be put back into a serviceable condition.
