MODIFICATION No. : 53222D44560
REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES
During long life structure tests on the A340-600, damage was found in the upper shell structure between
FR84 and FR86. This damage occurred between 58341 and 72891 simulated Flight Cycles (FC). Under
consideration of the Design Service Goal (DSG) of 16600 FC for A340-600 aircraft, no action is required.
Nevertheless, due to the higher DSG of 20000 FC / 30000 FC and different design (e.g. skin thickness) for
A340-300 aircraft, this damage is considered relevant for these models.
Structure improvements have to be embodied.
The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A330 aircraft MSN 0229.
This Service Bulletin has been issued to inform the operator to improve the upper shell structure between
FR84 and FR87 as follows :
- removal/installation of the vertical stabilizer for access reason.
NOTE : If any difficulties accrue to the removal/installation of the vertical stabilizer please contact
AIRBUS SER2 (working parties group).
- do a rototest inspection of fastener holes and a eddy current high frequency inspection between the
fastener rows in the upper shell area of FR80, FR84 and FR86.
- install new reinforcement T-doublers on the upper shell fuselage skin in the area of FR84 and FR86
between STGR5A LH and STGR5A RH,
- do a cold working with interference fit at FR80, FR84, FR85 and FR86,
- replace static electrical bonding brackets at FR84, STGR3 and FR86, STGR4 LH/RH,

SERVICE BULLETIN
Nevertheless, due to the higher DSG of 20000 FC / 30000 FC and different design (e.g.
skin thickness) for A340-300 aircraft, this damage is considered relevant for these models.
Structure improvements have to be embodied.
The equivalent of this Service Bulletin has been validated on A330 aircraft MSN 0229.
(2) Objective/Action
This Service Bulletin has been issued to inform the operator to improve the upper shell
structure between FR84 and FR87 as follows :
- removal/installation of the vertical stabilizer for access reason.
NOTE : If any difficulties accrue to the removal/installation of the vertical stabilizer
please contact AIRBUS SER2 (working parties group).
- do a rototest inspection of fastener holes and a eddy current high frequency inspection
between the fastener rows in the upper shell area of FR80, FR84 and FR86.
- install new reinforcement T -doublers on the upper shell fuselage skin in the area of FR84

- do a cold working with interference fit at FR80, FR84, FR85 and FR86,
- replace static electrical bonding brackets at FR84, STGR3 and FR86, STGR4 LH/RH,
- install a system angle between FR85 and FR86 and between STGR2 and STGR3 LH/RH.
- replace a system angle between FR83 and FR84, at STGR3 LH/RH.
(3) Advantages
The accomplishment of this Service Bulletin will ensure the structural integrity of the upper
shell structure between FR84 to FR87 up the DSG of 30000 FC for A340-300 aircraft.
(4) Operational/Maintenance Consequences
This Service Bulletin is based on the aircraft configuration as known by Airbus (first aircraft
delivery configuration and modified by the reported incorporation of Airbus SBs). Prior to
Service Bulletin embodiment, the operator is reminded to pay specific attention to structural
damage which may exist and to repairs which were performed on the aircraft because they
may be affected by the Service Bulletin. Operators must verify that all allowable damage
limits and repairs performed (both in accordance with the SRM and outside of the SRM)
are still applicable and effective to the new Service Bulletin configuration. There may be
additional or modified maintenance requirements, such as temporary limits or additional
inspections, that apply with respect to the Service Bulletin configuration. Airbus disclaims
any liability for the effect which the Service Bulletin may have on repairs performed on the
aircraft before embodiment of the Service Bulletin. If the post Service Bulletin repair
status is no more covered by the SRM and for repairs outside of the SRM covered by a
RAS issued by Airbus, the operator should contact Airbus Customer Services Repair
Engineering Support (SER1). Repair review will be done by Airbus at conditions of the
Customer Services Catalogue.

1 Check the edge clearance of all fastener holes from the outside and from the
inside of the fuselage shell as given in Figure 2, Sheet 1, 2 and 4. If the edge
clearance is very close for the current fasteners, try to rework the fastener holes
to keep the minimum distance to the structure edge after re-drilling to the final
fastener hole diameter as shown in Figure 1, Sheet 1 and 2. For the correct edge
clearance refer to the SRM 51-47-00. Only in the case that the fastener hole can
not be moved to keep the correct edge clearance, an undersize fastener of Kit
534172D03R01 should be installed, refer to Figure 4, Sheet 1 thru 10.
NOTE : In accordance with the SRM 51-47-00, Edge Distance for Milling
Steps, the additional distance of 1.0 mm (0.039 in) to the edge
margin for higher milling steps than 1.0 mm is not applicable for
these fastener holes.
NOTE : The installation of undersize fastener is limited by five fastener per
reinforcement bracket with a maximum of two fastener adjacent to
each other.
(e) Install 6 fasteners with cold working in the upper fuselage shell at FR80 between
