2. REFERENCED DOCUMENTATION
REF. 1: MP TASK A350-A-35-21-36-00001-720A-A installation of the Oxygen Container 
REF. 2: MP A350-A-35-21-XX-00ZZZ-320Z-A Operational Check of Manual Mask Release Including 
Check of Container Opening for Chemical Oxygen System
3. REASON
3.1 FACTS
During inspection of the installation of oxygen containers in production, it has been found that some 
fasteners of oxygen containers and the adjacent panels (Passenger Service Unit (PSU), spacers or filler 
panels) were damaged or unlocked. 
Further investigations identified several aircraft in production that were similarly affected and these were 
corrected prior to delivery.

Oxygen containers and adjacent panels’ fasteners need to be locked in order to prevent them from 
potentially moving on the rails that could lead to reduce the gap between these components.
3.2 CONSEQUENCES
Insufficient gap between the oxygen container and the adjacent panels could lead to prevent the 
opening of the oxygen containers and consequently to potential failure of deploying the oxygen masks in 
case of decompression. 
Therefore, in case of a cabin depressurization event, passengers would not be able to reach the oxygen 
masks while seated.
3.3 AIM
This AOT requires a one-time inspection of the installation of the oxygen containers and the other 
panels all Passenger Supply Channels (PSC)  to ensure a correct gap between these components and 
to lock the component’ fasteners if found unlocked as described in paragraph 4.2.
4. SHORT TERM ACTION
4.1 PLANNING AND MANPOWER
4.1.1 ACCOMPLISHMENT TIMESCALE
The inspection as per paragraph 4.2 must be performed within 9 months from the issue date of this 
AOT.
4.1.2 MANPOWER
oElapsed time per aircraft is estimated at: 4 Man/Hour to check and tighten the fasteners if 
needed.
oElapsed time per oxygen container is estimated at: 0.5 Man/Hour to replace a fixation element if 
needed.
oElapsed time of the operational check of the manual mask release is estimated at: 2 Man/Hour 
if needed.
4.2 DESCRIPTION
For each panel located in each Passenger Supply Channel (PSC):
1. Check that each fastener of each panel/component is locked as it is shown in the following 
images:

Not  Locked
2. If one or more fasteners are found unlocked on an oxygen container or an oxygen container 
adjacent panel: 
a. Check that a minimum clearance of 2.0 mm between the oxygen container door lid and 
the adjacent panel/component is correct. As per MP TASK A350-A-35-21-36-00001-
720A-A - Installation of the Oxygen Container.
b. Lock the fastener by using an Allen key 1/8in, turn the screw one quarter turn 
clockwise.
3. If one or more fasteners are found unlocked on other panels: 
a. Lock the fastener by using an Allen key 1/8in, turn the screw one quarter turn 
clockwise.
4. If a fixation element is found damaged and the fastener could not be locked correctly:
a. Replace the damaged fixation element as per associated CMM/CMP.
5. At the end of the inspection, if one panel had to be readjusted:
a. Perform the operational test of the manual mask release for the chemical oxygen 
system as per MP A350-A-35-21-XX-00ZZZ-320Z-A.
6. Report to Airbus the number of unlocked or damaged fasteners found.
Notes:
1. The following tooling can be used to perform the task:
a. Allen key 1/8 in to be used for locking the fasteners if needed.
b. A non-metallic 2 mm filler gauge could be used to check the minimum clearance.
5. FURTHER INFORMATION
5.1 FOLLOW-UP PLAN
No additional action is requested further to this one-time inspection.
6. AOT APPROVAL
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of DOA nr. EASA.21J.031.
Locked
