MODIFICATIONS None

REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES In 2006, Messier-Dowty identified a deficiency in the fatigue performance of 300M high strength steel used in forgings. The root cause for fatigue deficiency was process issues during the material preparation.

After thorough investigations, AIRBUS identified that the following material sources were impacted:

- Electralloy (Source 1)

- RSM (Source 2)

- Latrobe (Source 3).

Parts that have been identified as being manufactured from the suspect material properties issue are Main Fittings, Bogie Beams and Sliding Pistons installed on Main Landing Gear (MLG), Nose Landing Gear (NLG) and Center Landing Gear (CLG) of A330 and A340 aircraft. If the identified fatigue life of these suspect components is affected and were exceeded, subsequent failure could lead to a potentially unsafe condition of the aircraft.

Affected 300M Part Numbers (PNs) from Source 1 thru 3 were previously listed in the ALS Part 1, however, these PNs will now be managed through dedicated Airworthiness Directive/Service Bulletin in order to simplify the ALS Part 1.

This Inspection Service Bulletin is issued to:

SERVICE BULLETIN 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.
