REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES
Inspection of an A330 aircraft fitted with Basic Main Landing Gear (MLG) has shown that the MLG
Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin (UCP) can migrate from its original position and that the UCP nut and
retainer can become detached. The reported MLG sidestay upper cardan pin migration event had been
caused by corrosion, due to lack of jointing compound and inadequate sealant application during MLG
installation. Therefore, this issue affects any MLG that has had a UCP replacement or re-installation,
since Entry Into Service (EIS), irrespective of MLG overhaul.
The loss of the side stay UCP locking function can lead to a complete migration of the UCP and
disconnection of the MLG side stay upper arm from the aircraft structure.
Mandatory All Operators Telex (AOT) A32L003-14 requires all operators to do a gap check of all
applicable UCPs.
As a follow up to the AOT an inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be
present on the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion may not have been picked up as part of the
AOT checks but may contribute to migration of the UCP. The aim of this inspection Service Bulletin is
to request operators to:
- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking Assembly
- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads of the UCP and UCP Nut
- If damage, pitting or corrosion is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts are to be
replaced before further flight.

SERVICE BULLETIN
SUMMARY
Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection of corrosion,
pitting and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This minimizes the possibility of a
potential unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of the upper side stay arm from the aircraft
structure.
In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an upper cardan pin on a MLG, Airbus amended
the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on 01 October 2014.

C. REASON
(1) History
Inspection of an A330 aircraft fitted with Basic Main Landing Gear (MLG) has shown that
the MLG Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin (UCP) can migrate from its original position
and that the UCP nut and retainer can become detached. The reported MLG sidestay
upper cardan pin migration event had been caused by corrosion, due to lack of jointing
compound and inadequate sealant application during MLG installation. Therefore, this
issue affects any MLG that has had a UCP replacement or re-installation, since Entry
Into Service (EIS), irrespective of MLG overhaul.
The loss of the side stay UCP locking function can lead to a complete migration of the
UCP and disconnection of the MLG side stay upper arm from the aircraft structure.
Mandatory All Operators Telex (AOT) A32L003-14 requires all operators to do a gap
check of all applicable UCPs.
(2) Objective/Action
As a follow up to the AOT an inspection is considered necessary to capture any
corrosion that may be present on the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion may
not have been picked up as part of the AOT checks but may contribute to migration of
the UCP. The aim of this inspection Service Bulletin is to request operators to:
- do a Detailed Inspection (DET) of the Side Stay Upper Cardan Pin Locking
Assembly

SERVICE BULLETIN
- check for corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the threads of the UCP and UCP Nut
- If damage, pitting or corrosion is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts
are to be replaced before further flight.
(3) Advantages
Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection
of corrosion, pitting and/or damage to the UCP and nut retainer assembly. This
minimizes the possibility of a potential unsafe condition arising from the disconnection of
the upper side stay arm from the aircraft structure.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences
In addition, to prevent any improper re-installation of an upper cardan pin on a MLG,
Airbus amended the applicable Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) on 01 October
2014.

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
include the time to prepare, plan or inspect the work. Manufacture and procurement of parts
and tools, drying times for paints, sealants, etc., and general administration work are also not
included.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Task 324301-832-895-001 - Inspection
WARNING
: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS
INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.
WARNING
: MAKE SURE THAT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES ARE
IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS
- COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MOVEMENT OF COMPONENTS CAN KILL OR INJURE PERSONS.
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.
