**CONF ALL
B. CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS
None
C. REASON
(1) History
There have been several reports of cracks and loose, missing or sheared rivets found on
the FWD Cargo Compartment Door Frame Forks and skin in the area of beam No. 4.
Loose, missing or sheared rivets have also been reported on the FWD Cargo
Compartment Door Frame Heads and skin in the area of beam No. 1.
(2) Objective/Action
This Service Bulletin introduces a repetitive detailed inspection, High Frequency Eddy
Current (HFEC) inspection of the FWD cargo compartment door frame fork areas at
beam 4 and repetitive detailed inspection of the frame head areas at beam 1 from
Frame 20B to
 Frame 25. A one time adjustment of the hook gaps "U" and "V" is to be
done at the first accomplishment of this Service Bulletin.
This Service Bulletin also provides repair instructions to be applied to the FWD Cargo
Compartment Door Frame Forks, Frame Heads and skin in the event of findings
resulting from the inspections.
(3) Advantages
The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will continue to maintain the structural
integrity of the FWD Cargo Compartment Door.
The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will introduce compliance with the
Widespread Fatigue Damage requirements of 14 CFR Part FAR26.21.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences
None
D. DESCRIPTION
To accomplish this Service Bulletin it is necessary to :

: 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.
CAUTION
: IF A BUSH REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE ON A FRAME FORK THERE IS
A LIFETIME LIMITATION. IF THE LIFETIME LIMITATION IS EXCEEDED,
REPLACE THE FRAME FORK OR CARGO COMPARTMENT DOOR, REFER TO
Fig. A-GBUAA Sheet 01
 .
NOTE
: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin refer to procedures
included in other AIRBUS documents. When the words ’refer to’ are used and the
operator has an accepted alternative procedure, the accepted alternative procedure
can be used. When the words ’in accordance with’ are included in the instruction,
the procedure in the AIRBUS document must be used.
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.

C. PROCEDURE
NOTE
: Paint peeling at fasteners head is an indicator of potential loose fasteners.
Before reporting as loose, check as per SRM 51-42-11.
During the cargo door inspection, it is necessary to look for loose, sheared or
missing fasteners as an indicator of fatigue. Sheared or missing fasteners can
be quickly identified as the result of the detailed inspection form outside, for
the loose fasteners however it could be more difficult. In particular, based on
the in-service experience, some fasteners affected by paint peeling can be
wrongly considered loose due to the black marks around the fastener head,
the so called "fastener rash" phenomenon. Recommendation to detect loose
fasteners:
- Paint chipping of fastener head detected form outside is a good indicator,
but must not be the only evidence.
- Check for abnormal gap under the fastener heads on both side.
- Fastener movement (play) confirm the fastener is loose. However,
sometimes the fastener can be loose and stuck (between skin and
frame), that is why it is necessary to check on both side of the cargo
door.
