CARDAN PIN AND NUT

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 UCP 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.
An inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be present on the UCP and
associated nut threads. Corrosion 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 on the UCP and UCP Nut
- if corrosion, pitting and/or damage is found on the UCP or UCP Nut, the damaged parts are to be
replaced before further flight.
Accomplishment of this Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) will help in the early detection of corrosion
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 OCT 01/14.

SERVICE BULLETIN
(2) Objective/Action
An inspection is considered necessary to capture any corrosion that may be present on
the UCP and associated nut threads. Corrosion 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 on the UCP and UCP Nut
- if corrosion, pitting and/or damage 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 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 OCT 01/14.
D. DESCRIPTION
To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

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.
