All Service Bulletins that are declared Mandatory by the CAA or are the subject of a French "Consigne de Navigabilite" carry a statement to that effect. Other available service documents for the Concorde include: (1) Structural Repair Manual (2) Illustrated Parts Catalog (3) Wiring Diagram Manual (4) Maintenance Manual A45EU Page 8 of 9 B. Special Maintenance Requirements: All Concorde aircraft must be maintained in accordance with a program which includes the maintenance tasks presented in the current issues of the following: (1) Concorde Document SST/B83/7013 "Special Maintenance Tasks Required for FAA Certification" (2) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 27.040 "SERVO-CONTROL INSPECTION FOR DETECTION OF CRACKS ON VARIOUS CRITICAL COMPONENTS" (3) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 27.041 "INSPECTION FOR HYDRAULIC FLUID TRANSFER DUE TO CRACKS AT SERVO- CONTROLS and (4) Concorde Service Bulletin No. 53.045 "INSPECTION OF UPPER FUSELAGE (ROOF) BETWEEN FR 41 AND FR 72" C. Special Modification Requirements: The special maintenance requirements of Subsection B above result from certification safety analyses and are necessary for compliance with the airworthiness objectives of the Concorde certification basis. Any modification to a system or component that is the subject of such maintenance requirements must be evaluated with respect to reliability in a manner consistent with the Concorde's certification safety analyses, and the airplane's maintenance program must be amended as necessary to ensure the declared level of reliability in service for the modified system or component. NOTES: NOTE 1: (a) Current weight and balance report, including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight, and loading instructions, must be in each aircraft at the time of original certification and at all times thereafter except in the case of operators having an approved weight control system. SNIAS/BAC Report "Weight and Balance Manual" contains loading information for each airplane and interior arrangement configuration as delivered. This report contains, or refers to, information relative to location of all passengers and crew member seats, location and capacity of all cargo and baggage compartments, buffets, storage spaces and coat rooms, location and capacity of lounges and lavatories. (b) The airplane must be loaded so that the C.G. is within the specified limits at all times, considering fuel loading, usage and management, gear retraction, and movement of crew and passengers from their assigned positions. Page 9 of 9 A45EU (c) The weights of unusable fuel, systems oil and hydraulic fluid must be included in the airplane operating weight empty, and are as listed below. (i) The unusable fuel is the difference between the total fuel and the usable fuel. It corresponds to that amount of fuel in the tanks and in the system determined to be unavailable to the engine in accordance with FAR 25.959. system unusable fuel: 88 kg (194 lb) arm 61.17% C o tanks unusable fuel: 183 kg (403 lb) arm 59.23% C o (In the level attitude, 660 kg (1455 lb) of fuel at 65.19% Co are undrainable). (ii) The system oil is the total amount of oil in the engine and constant speed drive units, lines and tanks: engine oil: 100 kg (220 lb) arm 76.43% C o Constant speed drive oil: 36 kg ( 79 lb) arm 78.92% C o (iii) The hydraulic fluid is the total amount of fluid in the reservoirs, lines and equipment: hydraulic fluid: 316 kg (697 lb) arm 64.69% C o NOTE 2. Placards: Required placards are illustrated in Concorde Doc. No. B10/DWR/2490, and must be installed in the designated locations. NOTE 3. Life Limitations: Concorde airplane components and equipment which are life limited are the subjects of Concorde Service Bulletins in the 900-series, identified under the appropriate ATA chapter affected. Such components and equipment must be replaced prior to expiration of the service life limit specific therein. NOTE 4.
