Service Bulletin: 80-0455 Rev. N. 0 Date: Page: 3 of 12 Mod. D007_ed_1

C. REASON PAI performed a deep analysis of a substantial disbonding found between the RH elevator assembly upper/lower metal skin and the honeycomb core during a post -flight inspection.

Investigation identified that a nonconformity in the manufacturing process could be the root cause of the disbonding and that other flight control surfaces could be potentially involved.

This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the structural stiffness of the part, and downgrade the surface aerodynamic performance.

This MANDATORY SB provides instruc tions for repetitive inspections to verify the structural integrity of the affected assemblies and depending on findings outcome require the repair of the part(s) or the replacement of the affected flight control surface(s).

Aviation Authority action is also expected.

D. DESCRIPTION General This MANDATORY SB consists of the following:

Part A: identification of flight control surfaces serial numbers, according to aircraft’s logbook and check if the identified parts are included in the not-affected units list as per §1.A. Table 1 of this Service Bulletin.

If one or more surface(s) is (are) not listed in §1.A. Table 1, proceed with Part B or C of this Service Bulletin for this(these) surface(s), otherwise no other actions are required.

Part B: coin tapping test o n the affected assemblies (not replaced as per Part C of this Service Bulletin): LH and RH forward wing flap, LH and RH aileron , LH and RH main wing inboard flap and/or LH and RH elevator.

Findings review and report to PAI Product Support Dept. Depending on findings and actions taken, repetitive inspections are required. Repair instructions may be also applicable.

Part C: depending on actions taken in Part A or B, replacement instructions of the affected assembly.

E. COMPLIANCE This MANDATORY Service Bulletin shall be accomplished as follows:

Part A: within 50 flight hours (FH) from the issue date of this Service Bulletin.

Part A may be postponed to the next 200 FH inspection if the following condition is met: last coin tapping inspection (refer to NDTM Chap. 51-00-01) or

Service Bulletin: 80-0455 Rev. N. 0 Date: Page: 4 of 12 Mod. D007_ed_1 last ultrasonic inspection (refer to. NDTM Chap. 51 -00-03) was performed , without any defect found, on the LH and RH forward wing flap, LH and RH aileron , LH and RH main wing inboard flap and LH and RH elevator during the previous 200 FH from the issue date of this Service Bulletin.

NOTE: it is not necessary to perform the following Part B for the flight contro ls surfaces replaced according to Part C of this Service Bulletin.

Part B: following aircraft logbook check result as per Part A , perform initial inspection within 50 flight hours (FH) from the issue date of this Service Bulletin or at the next 200 FH inspection since the last coin tapping inspection (ref er to NDTM Chap. 51-00-01) executed on the LH and RH forward wing flap, LH and RH aileron , LH and RH main wing inboard flap, LH and RH elevator, whichever occurs later.

[a] After initial inspection, in case of no damage found (local delamination), repeat the check after 200 FH.

[b] After 200 FH (as per [a]), in case of no damage found, repeat t he check after 200 FH.

[c] After 400 FH (since initial inspection), in case of no damage found, proceed with coin tapping test every 600 FH in accordance with AMM.

In case of damage found (local delamination) during inspection as per [a] or [b], proceed as follows:

 in case of damage within the acceptable limits, repair must be performed in accordance with the Structural Repair Manual (SRM) report no. 180 - MAN-0250-01106;

 in case of damage exceeding the acceptable limits , contact PAI for technical evaluation and further actions.

A repaired surface shall be inspected again after 50 FH since repair and proceed as follows:

[d] in case of no damage found, repeat the check after 200 FH;

[e] in case of no damage found during inspection [d], proceed with coin tapping test every 600 FH in accordance with AMM.

In case of damage found during inspection [d], contact immediately P AI for further actions.

In case of damage found during inspection scheduled every 600 FH (as per [e]), proceed as follows :

Service Bulletin: 80-0455 Rev. N. 0 Date: Page: 5 of 12 Mod. D007_ed_1  in case of damage within the acceptable limits, repair must be performed in accordance with the Structural Repair Manual (SRM ) report no. 180 - MAN-0250-01106: for repetitive inspection refer to [e];

 in case of damage exceeding the acceptable limits, contact immediately PAI.

Part C: following inspection findings and actions taken in accordance with Part B of this Service Bulletin and after contacting PAI P180 Customer Support to arrange the repair or replacement according to PAI Prod. Support Engineering evaluation.

NOTE 2: the adoption of the 600 FH coin tapping interval on all the flight control surfaces, in consequence of a “no damage found” condition as per Part B of this Service Bulletin, is considered a terminating action of this SB.

NOTE 3: should a new defect be found during a coin tapping test carried out at 50 FH or 200 FH after a repair, the replacement of the affected part combined with a “no damage found” condition on the other surfaces, and verified during all the previous coin tapping tests up to the 200 FH test, is considered a terminating action of this Service Bulletin.

In compliance with this Service Bulletin, please complete the attached Confirmation Slip and sent it back to Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A. – Product Support Department.

F. APPROVAL The technical content o f this Service Bulletin has been approved under the Authority of DOA No EASA.21J.220.

G. MANPOWER This MANDATORY Service Bulletin may be accomplished in approximately:

Part A: 0.5 man-hour (MH).

Part B: 0.5 man-hour (MH) (each surface).

Part C: 4 man-hours (MH) for FWD wing flap replacement (single unit);

7 man-hours (MH) aileron replacement (single unit);

4 man-hours (MH) MW inboard flap replacement (single unit);

8 man-hours (MH) for elevator replacement (single unit).

Additional 10 MH (maximum) ma y be required for post -installation flight control surface adjustment/test.

NOTE: estimated man-hours provided above are not considering the drying/curing time required when a flight control surface repair is necessary and they do not include preparation a nd the time required to return the aircraft to a flyable status.
