HISTORY OF PREVIOUS REVISIONS Refer to the previous issues of AOT 27A4107.

The AOT 27A4107 was issued on May 30/02 to inform the operators about a repetitive inspection to be performed on the ball screw assy for integrity of the primary and secondary load path.

The AOT 27A4107 was revised on Jul 25/02 to provide operators with a simpler Inspection procedure and clearer GO/NOGO criteria.

Revision No. 02 was issued to supersede AOT 27A4107 Rev. 01 (dated Jul 25/02).

Revision No. 03 was issued to add the inspection of the screw shaft and to correct the AMM references.

Revision No. 04 was issued to extend the effectivity and to introduce minor changes.

Revision No. 05 was issued to :

correct the AMM reference, add inspection procedure for RH THS/THSA lower attachment, change inspection procedure from THS/THSA lower attachment to LH THSA.

Revision No. 06 was issued to :

extend the effectivity up to MSN 0668, DATE: May 30/02 SERVICE BULLETIN No.: A340-27-4107 REVISION No.: 09 - Mar 29/16 Page: 5 5 Printed in FRANCE © AIRBUS S.A.S. 2007. All rights reserved.

MANDATORY ATA SYSTEM: 27 TITLE: FLIGHT CONTROLS - THSA - INSPECTION OF THE BALL SCREW

ASSY FOR INTEGRITY OF THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LOAD PATH **CONF ALL

MODIFICATIONS None

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES The Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer Actuator (THSA) is composed of a ball nut, which forms the primary load path and a threaded nut as a secondary load path. Both run on the screw shaft. In case of failure of the primary load path, loads are transferred to the secondary one. When the secondary nut is loaded, the friction increases between the titanium nut and steel screw due to material characteristics.

Investigations of the THSA transfer tube have indicated that the secondary nut does not lock the THSA after few movements as expected under certain cyclic load conditions but c ontinues to operate with high friction which results in damaging the screw and the secondary nut.

Operation of the secondary load path is detected by the Flight Control Primary Computers (FCPC) if the THSA efficiency decreases to such an extent that the position error monitoring threshold is exceeded. If this condition remains undetected, a primary load path failure may result in damaging the screw and secondary nut and, in extreme cases, in failure of the actuator.

This Service Bulletin introduces a repetitive deta iled visual inspection of th e THSA ball screw assy, a check of the gap between the secondary nut tenons and the transfer plates with a feeler gage or a detailed inspection of the checkable shear-pins.

The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will ensure the reliable function of the THSA.

The Operational/Maintenance Consequences of this Service Bulletin are covered by the update of the affected publications detailed in "PLANNING INFORMATION".
