REASON/DESCRIPTION/OPERATIONAL CONSEQUENCES
Several bogie beams have been found corroded and cracked under the bogie stop pad, during
maintenance and inspection. This could initiate stress corrosion of the bogie beam.
An Inspection Operators Information Telex (OIT) (SE 999.118/06/LB) was issued in October 2006 to
inform operators of the cracked bogie beams. This recommended that every operator who experienced
bogie beam stop-pad failures should complete an inspection of the affected bogie beam at the time of
bogie beam stop-pad replacement. During these inspections a Main Landing Gear (MLG) was visually
inspected and the bogie beam stop-pad was found to be deformed and cracked. Upon removal of the
stop-pad for replacement, the bogie beam was also found to be cracked.
Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) A340-32-4264 was issued as a one off inspection for cracks in this
area.
This Service Bulletin is only valid for MSNs that have not accomplished Service Bulletin No.
A340-32-4300.
This ISB supersedes ISB A340-32-4264 and introduces repeat inspections.
This ISB is issued to advise all operators of A340 aircraft of the issue of the following Messier-Dowty
Service Bulletins:
- A33/34-32-295 for basic landing gear aircraft (Config. 001)
- A33/34-32-296 for growth landing gear aircraft (Config. 002)
- A33/34-32-297 for enhanced landing gear aircraft (Config. 003).

@A340
SERVICE BULLETIN
SUMMARY
This ISB details instructions for repeat inspections of the bogie beam in the area of the stop pad, to
check for:
- the integrity of the corrosion protection scheme under the bogie stop pad
- corrosion
- presence of protection on the base metal
- subsequent cracking of the bogie beam under the stop pad.
This involves removal of the stop pad to inspect the surface treatments and repair as necessary. These
repeat inspections under all stop pads are required as a precautionary fleet-wide action.
The accomplishment of Service Bulletin No. A340-32-4300 is considered a terminating action for the
repetitive inspection requirements of this Service Bulletin.
Accomplishment of this ISB will give an early detection of bogie beam corrosion/cracking in the area of
the stop pad.
The Operational/Maintenance Consequences of this Service Bulletin are covered by the update of the
affected publications detailed in ’PLANNING INFORMATION’.

not available, in which case the bogie must be rotated to nest the pad with the slider
fork before securing it in position. EMLG does not need such a tool as pad is flat.

3. ACCOMPLISHMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Task 324286-832-895-001 - INSPECTION
WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT YOU OBEY ALL THE WARNINGS AND ALL THE CAUTIONS
INCLUDED IN THE REFERENCED PROCEDURES.
CAUTION: ALWAYS OBEY THE PRECAUTIONS THAT FOLLOW TO KEEP

ELECTRICAL WIRING IN A SATISFACTORY CONDITION (ELECTRICALLY
AND MECHANICALLY SERVICEABLE). WHEN YOU DO MAINTENANCE
WORK, REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS, ALWAYS KEEP ELECTRICAL WIRING,
COMPONENTS AND THE WORK AREA AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE. TO DO
THIS:
- PUT PROTECTION, SUCH AS PLASTIC SHEETING, CLOTHS, ETC; AS

NECESSARY ON WIRING AND COMPONENTS
- REGULARLY REMOVE ALL SHAVINGS, UNWANTED MATERIAL AND

OTHER CONTAMINATION.
THESE PRECAUTIONS WILL DECREASE THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION

AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTALLATION.
IF THERE IS CONTAMINATION REFER TO ESPM 20-55-00.
NOTE: The accomplishment instructions of this Service Bulletin include procedures given
in other documents or in other sections of the Service Bulletin. When the words
’refer to’ are used and the operator has a procedure accepted by the local authority
he belongs to, the accepted alternative procedure can be used. When the words ’in
accordance with’ are used then the given procedure must be followed.
NOTE: The access and close-up instructions, not comprising return to service tests, in this
Service Bulletin do not constitute or affect the technical intent of the Service
Bulletin. Operators can therefore, as deemed necessary, omit or add access and/or
close-up steps to add flexibility to their maintenance operations as long as the
technical intent of the Service Bulletin is met within the set parameters.
NOTE: Manual titles given in the accomplishment instructions are referred to by acronyms.
Refer to paragraph 1.J., References, for the definition of acronyms.
NOTE: This Service Bulletin is classified mandatory or expected to be classified mandatory

by an Airworthiness Directive (AD). The paragraphs 3.C. and 3.D. in these
accomplishment instructions are Required for Compliance (RC) and must be done
to comply with the AD. Other paragraphs are recommended and may be deviated
from, done as part of other actions or done with accepted methods different from
those given in the Service Bulletin, as long as the RC paragraphs can be done and
the aircraft can be put back into a serviceable condition.
NOTE: The purpose of flow charts is to supplement the information given in the Procedure
and Compliance paragraphs and not to serve as the primary source for tasks or
compliance times given in this Service Bulletin.
