FRONT WINDSHIELD
SUMMARY This summary is for information only and is not approved for modification of the aircraft.
A. MODIFICATIONS
MODIFICATION CLASSIFICATION MAJOR None MINOR None NOTE: As per EASA IR 21, a minor change is one that has no appreciable effect on the mass, balance, structural strength, reliability, operational characteristics affecting the airworthiness of the product. All other changes are major changes.
B. REASON
(1) History AIRBUS received a report on an in-service event on A319 aircraft about the loss of the RH side windshield in flight, during the cruise phase. The windshield was the original from delivery, manufactured by SAINT-GOBAIN SULLY SAS (SGS). The investigation of the A319 event determined that both structural plies of the RH windshield were damaged, due to a continuous arcing in the windshield heating system (at the level of the power supply wires). Such electrical arcing requires a combination of at least the following contributing factors: mechanical damage to the insulation sleeve of the power supply wires and water ingress resulting in the wires corrosion. Several tens of seconds after the failure of the 2 structural plies, the last ply failed (outer ply, nonstructural) and the windshield was ejected due to the pressurization loads.
Due to the similarity of design between A320 and A330 windshields, an Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) is required for the A330 family aircraft.
In addition, the Modification (MOD) No. 209046S35477 (WINDOWS - COCKPIT - INTRODUCE IMPROVED SGS FRONT WINDSHIELD) will introduce new Part Numbers (PNs) SPSA340-1-6-3 and SPSA340-2-6-3 which are not affected by this ISB.
(2) Objective/Action This Inspection Service Bulletin is published to advise all operators of the A330 family aircraft of the issue of Ref. SAINT-GOBAIN (F0360) Vendor Service Bulletin (VSB) SPSA340-56-001, which provides instructions to inspect the front windshields (FINs 3DG1 and 3DG2) potentially affected by water ingress and corrosion within the windshield heating system. The SGS PNs (all serial numbers) impacted have been defined in 3 groups:
Group 1:
- SPSA340-2-4-1 / SPSA340-1-4-1 Group 2:
- SPSA340-2-5-2 / SPSA340-1-5-2 Group 3:

(1) Classification MANDATORY: Service Bulletin must be accomplished.
(2) Accomplishment Timescale Accomplishment of this Service Bulletin must be done at the thresholds given in the Appendix COMPLIANCE TIMES.
This Service Bulletin has been classified Mandatory. It is expected that an Airworthiness Directive (AD) published by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) will be issued to confirm this classification. It is anticipated that the AD will confirm the thresholds given but reference should be made to the AD for confirmation of the mandated accomplishment timescale.
NOTE: For the presentation of the compliance times, refer to Appendix COMPLIANCE TIMES NOTE: This Service Bulletin (SB) considers the possibility of a configuration with PNs from different Groups on the LH and RH sides on the same aircraft.
NOTE: A review of aircraft delivery and/or maintenance records is acceptable to make the determination of the part installed, provided those records can be relied upon for that purpose and the PN and SN of the part can be positively identified from that review.
F. APPROVAL The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of the Design Organisation Approval ref. EASA.21J.031.
If an aircraft listed in the applicability 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.
