REVISION STATUS

The ALS Part 4 is approved and Variations must also be approved.

The technical content of this Revision is approved under the authority of the DOA ref. EASA.21J.031.

Note: the present Revision includes ALS data already approved either by EASA for major changes or by Airbus under DOA privilege for minor changes.

REVISION NUMBER APPROVAL REFERENCE APPROVAL DATE

07 D050419070 OCT 11/19

07 issue 02 D050419070 issue 02 NOV 07/19

This Revision contains all approved changes to A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4 since the last Revision

Issue 02 of considered Revision has been issued in order to administratively update description of ALS part 4 SEMR tasks 361101-00003-1-E / -2-E from “Discard seal 32” to “Discard Wing Anti Ice tapping seals” ; this aims to restore consistency of ALS documentation with IPC / AMM documentation.

This includes changes published through the following Variations:

VARIATION NUMBER REASON OF THE VARIATION

6.1 MOD 160766 introduces new A321 NEO ACF A/C models. For those aircrafts, this Variation introduces a new SEMR task (ref. 522101-00001-1-E) related to Over Wing Door (OWD).

6.2

A321 NEO ACF aircraft (A321 POST 160766) were subject to SEMR task 522101-00001-1-E (“Set the OWD handle back to the closed position”) introduced through Variation 6.1 to A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4 Revision 06. MODs 164456 and 164457 introduce modification of door mechanism of forward (FWD) / afterward (AFT) Over Wing Door (OWD). This Variation supersedes previous Variation 6.1 : Indeed, it revises SEMR task 522101-00001-1-E, and clarifies that OWD handle is no more required to be set back to the closed position, on OWD(s) of aircraft where MOD(s) 164456 and / or 164457 has (have) been embodied.

6.3

This Variation aims at providing the impact on the mandatory instructions and airworthiness limitations published in the A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 4 Revision 06 following applicability extension of MOD 160177 to A321-100 aircraft series.

4. DEFINITION OF ALS PART 4 CONTENT

4.1 SYSTEMS LIFE-LIMITED COMPONENTS

Components/items listed under SECTION 3 are those affected by a replacement requirement associated to a life limitation and whose failure could contribute to an unsafe condition of the aircraft.

For a given PNR, when more than one set of limitations is published for the same application, the selection depends on the aircraft utilization. No combination of limitations from different sets is permitted.

Life limitations quoted in SECTION 3 are applicable to the undamaged detail components/items as listed, not to the assembly or the aircraft on which they are installed.

4.1.1 LIFE LIMITS

ALS Part 4 contains, in SECTION 3, components/items having a life limit due to failure during tests and whose failure could result in a catastrophic or hazardous failure condition. Their Part Numbers (PNR) are labelled “LL” in the table.

4.1.2 CURRENT DEMONSTRATED LIVES

ALS Part 4 contains, in SECTION 3, components/items having a demonstrated life limitation, which is temporary waiting for completion of the tests. Their PNRs are labelled “DL” in the table.

4.2 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

The maintenance tasks given in SECTION 4 include airworthiness limitations set to prevent the aircraft systems failures, which could contribute to an unsafe condition of the aircraft.

Note: Credit may be taken for accomplishment of the Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR) Systems and Power plant section maintenance tasks, providing that they are performed with the same inspection level, at least as frequently as the inspection threshold and interval quoted in this document.

SECTION 4, paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 provide maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations at component level and aircraft (system) level respectively.

4.2.1 CONTROLLED AT COMPONENT/SUB-ASSEMBLY LEVEL

SECTION 4, paragraph 1 identifies maintenance tasks controlled at component/item level. The recurrent maintenance requirements are applicable no later than the component/item, not the aircraft, reaching the airworthiness limitation.

When components/items given in SECTION 4, paragraph 1 reach the stated airworthiness limitations, the given maintenance task must be carried out. Any component/item removed from the aircraft for any reason, (such as failure of functional check, degradation of condition, etc.) shall be replaced by a serviceable component/item, which has not reached the stated airworthiness limitations.

© AIRBUS SAS 2019. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

4.2.2 CONTROLLED AT AIRCRAFT SYSTEM LEVEL

SECTION 4, paragraph 2 identifies maintenance tasks controlled at aircraft level. The recurrent maintenance requirements are applicable no later than the aircraft, not the component/item, reaching the airworthiness limitation.

The maintenance tasks listed in SECTION 4, paragraph 2 must be carried out when the aircraft reaches the stated airworthiness limitation. Should a failure to reach the task requirements be detected, the appropriate trouble-shooting must be carried out and the relevant suspected components/items replaced in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) procedures. Following any replacements, the listed maintenance tasks must be repeated until a successful maintenance task recording can be entered.

5. BASIC RULES

5.1 CLOCK STARTING POINT FOR SEMR

This paragraph provides general rules related to the starting point for calculation of due dates or times for limitations and maintenance requirements identified in this document according to the different usage parameters.

5.1.1 AT AIRCRAFT LEVEL

For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 2:

- The threshold is applied from the initial Entry-Into-Service of the aircraft (unless otherwise stated).

- The next interval is calculated from the original due date of the last accomplishment of the task, excluding any exceptional short-term extensions from calculation.

When alternative inspection methods are provided, the next interval applicable is the one associated with the inspection method used at last inspection.

For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 2 whose interval is changed, the next accomplishment must be determined from previous accomplishment date unless otherwise stated.

The time to start the clock for maintenance tasks with applicability determined by post-delivery modification is the date of MOD embodiment.

5.1.2 AT COMPONENT/ITEM LEVEL

For the transferable systems components/items, the starting point or initial Entry-Into-Service is defined as the date at which the component/item accomplishes the first flight for which it will undertake its intended function (unless otherwise stated).

For the components/items in SECTION 3:

For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4, paragraph 1:

- The threshold is applied from the initial Entry-Into-Service of the component/item (unless otherwise stated).

- The next interval is calculated from the original due date of the last accomplishment of the task limitation, excluding any exceptional short-term extensions from calculation.

When alternative inspection methods are provided, the next interval applicable is the one associated with the inspection method used at last inspection.

For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 1 whose interval is changed, the next accomplishment must be determined from previous accomplishment date unless otherwise stated.

The time to start the clock for maintenance tasks with applicability determined by post-delivery modification is the date of MOD embodiment.

5.2 TRACEABILITY

Components/items listed under SECTION 3 and SECTION 4 paragraph 1 have to be considered as “life-limited” components and therefore it is necessary to assure traceability and monitoring of these parts as per EASA Part M.A.305 - Aircraft continuing airworthiness record system.

In the context of the ALS Part 4, traceability means records that clearly demonstrate the history of components/items back to initial Entry-Into-Service of the part, so that life limitations are accurately applied. Traceability records may comprise, but are not limited to, the following:

- Application history (aircraft type, model, weight variant, MSN i.e. Manufacturer Serial Number, etc.),

- Maintenance actions carried out (Airworthiness Directives, modifications, repairs, inspections, etc.),

- Life accumulation (accounting for any individual aircraft to which a component/item may have been fitted).

Where the complete life history of a component/item is not known, Operators are requested to refer to In-Service Information ISI 00.05.00002 for guidance. It provides the means to manage such components/items. It has been issued in agreement with the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Note: Traceability and monitoring of component/item is not required for consumable component for which replacement is controlled at assembly/aircraft level.

5.3 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

5.4 TRANSFER OF FATIGUE RELATED COMPONENTS/ITEMS BETWEEN AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS/AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION CHANGE

The airworthiness limitation(s) for a fatigue-related (i.e. ATA 27 and 32) component/item fitted to an aircraft may be different when:

- The component/item is transferred to another application (aircraft type, aircraft model, weight variant, etc.),

- The aircraft configuration is changed as a result of MOD/SB embodiment (weight variant, landing gear standard, etc.).

In these cases, the component/item’s remaining life must be calculated using the following formula:

i

j

j

i CpCp

Ca1Tr

with:

Tri = component/item’s remaining life for operation on current application i.

Caj = component/item’s accumulated life on previous application j.

Cpj = component/item’s airworthiness limitation in previous application j.

Cpi = component/item’s airworthiness limitation in current application i.

When a component/item has been installed on an application where the ALS Part 4 does not impose an airworthiness limitation, the values in SECTION 1, paragraph 3. MAINTENANCE PROGRAM PUBLICATION shall be used.

Note 1: When using the above formula, Tri, Caj, Cpj and Cpi are expressed in the same usage parameter (e.g. FH or FC or LDG): Usage parameters cannot be mixed in the same calculation.

Note 2: The remaining life calculation must be reassessed every time the component/item’s airworthiness limitation(s) change(s) for current and/or previous aircraft application(s) to which the component/item is/was fitted.

5.5 DISPOSAL/QUARANTINE ACTION

When the components/items reach the life limitations, disposal/quarantine action shall be taken, as per EASA Part M.A.504 - Control of unserviceable components, which asks for a status of life limited components and a life limited components log card. Disposal/quarantine action depends on the following categories:

For “life-limited” components/items listed in the SECTION 3 and labelled “LL”: They shall be mutilated beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy.

Note 1: The ultimate solution is the mutilation beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy, as per EASA Part M, AMC M.A.504 – Control of unserviceable components.

Note 2: Some means may exist to extend their life potential provided they are applied prior to reaching the life-limit (e.g. Service Bulletin: POST SB PNR).

For components/items whose fatigue lives have been demonstrated, labelled “DL” and listed in the SECTION 3: Appropriate means shall be implemented to deter their installation on aircraft pending possible extension of their life limitations. Examples of means are:

- Record keeping system,

- Non-permanent markings,

- Segregation (components stored separately from those currently eligible for installation).

Note: When consumable components are removed, they must be mutilated beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy.

5.6 EXCEPTIONAL SHORT-TERM EXTENSIONS FOR SEMR ITEMS LISTED IN SECTION 4

Since SECTION 4 System Installation Maintenance Requirements intervals are based on statistical averages and reliability rates, an exceptional short-term extension for a specific SECTION 4 interval may be made on one aircraft for a limited period of time without compromising the safety objectives declared at Type Certification.

Repeated use of such extensions, either on the same aircraft or on similar aircraft in the Operator's fleet, should not be used as a substitute for good management practices. Short-term extensions must not be used for fleet SEMR escalation.

Unless noted adjacent to the airworthiness limitation, for all airworthiness limitations identified in the SECTION 4, it has been accepted by the Primary Certification Authority (EASA) that short-term extensions up to the following maximum values may be granted without consultation with that office.

(1) Controlled by Flight Hours (FH)

Extensions up to 10% or 500 FH (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Hours.

(2) Controlled by Flight Cycles or Landings (FC or LDG)

Extensions up to 5% or 250 FC/LDG (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Cycles or Landings.

(3) Controlled by Calendar Time

Where the repeat interval is 12 months or less, extensions up to 10% or 1 month (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Months.

Where the repeat interval is greater than 12 months, extensions up to 2 months may exceptionally be granted.

This paragraph in the ALS Part 4 is written to confirm to the Authority of the State of aircraft registry that exceptional short-term extensions are permissible. Approval of such extensions rests with the Authority of the State of aircraft registry in the same way as it does for any other scheduled maintenance task interval extension.

Note: No short-term extensions are permissible for maintenance tasks previously required by individual ADs. These items will be highlighted by a note in the task description column.

7. PRODUCTION CONCESSIONS, REPAIRS, ALS VARIATIONS, AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES AND ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE

Limitations of the ALS Part 4 may be superseded by instructions given in either a production concession, a repair solution, an ALS Variation, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC), an Airworthiness Directive (AD) or exemptions provided by National Aviation Authorities (e.g. exemption supported by ASAC – Airbus Statement of Airworthiness Compliance).

It is Operator’s responsibility to refer to the applicable limitations.

APPENDIX B. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

TERM DEFINITION

CALENDAR TIME (CAL.)

Airworthiness limitations in Years (Ye), in Months (Mo), etc… must be counted from the date of initial Entry-Into-Service of the component/part, unless otherwise stated. Storage, maintenance, etc… do not freeze calendar time accumulation but during those cases the life limit is not considered as exceeded since the aircraft is not in airworthy conditions. Nevertheless the component/part must be replaced before the release to service of the aircraft. Month(s): equivalent of 1 calendar month (can be calculated as 1/12 calendar year). Year(s): equivalent of 12 calendar months (can be calculated as 365, 25 days).

COMPLIANCE TIME

Period of time given to Operators to accomplish maintenance tasks and/or replace items (at component or aircraft level) having exceeded or close to exceed the new/reduced airworthiness limitations provided in the Revision/Variation.

DETAILED INSPECTION

An intensive examination of a specific component/item, installation or assembly to detect damage, failure or irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses, etc. may be necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures may be required.

ENTRY INTO SERVICE

The initial Entry-Into-Service is defined for the aircraft (systems installations) as:

The date of Transfer of Title to the first Operator for airworthiness limitations in Calendar times, unless otherwise stated in any delivery documentation to the first Operator.

The date of aircraft first flight for airworthiness limitations in flight hours and/or flight cycles and/or landings.

The initial Entry-Into-Service for the transferable systems components/items is defined as the date at which the component/item accomplishes the first flight for which it will undertake its intended function.

Note: Unless otherwise stated, this means for transferable components/items delivered on new aircraft (i.e. from Airbus Final Assembly Line) that the life accumulated between aircraft first flight and the aircraft delivery date/transfer of title date (e.g. as a result of test flights) must be taken into account.

EXCEPTIONAL SHORT-TERM EXTENSION
