ARTS supports you in implementing structural modificationsunder Airbus A380 Service BulletinsNo.A380-52-(8079 up to 8094, 8122 up to 8131)

On 5 January, 2014, the crew of a Singapore Airlines A380 interrupted the flight from London to Singapore, diverting to Baku for an emergency landing due to a loss of pressure and an unusual noise from a passenger door. The Federal Aviation Administration subsequently published an Airworthiness Directive (AD) for all A380 aircraft in service (MSN up to 0165): operators of these full double-deck aircraft were required to apply a retrospective modification to the sixteen passenger doors in accordance with AD No.: 2014-0253. Airbus reacted with Service Bulletins for all passenger doors on the A380. All affected airlines are required to complete the required maintenance by 2020.

The worldwide available ARTS Structure Repair Crew has already supported various Airbus certified maintenance companies in the A380 door modification. Thus, ARTS knows the qualitative requirements imposed by the Service Bulletin, the general Structure Repair Manual (SRM) and the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM).

In accordance with Airworthiness Directive AD 2014-0253, stress tests revealed fractures in the main deck doors and upper deck doors of the A380. In order to prevent forma-tion of micro-fractures, structural reinforcements are incorporated. In this process, our experts remove and modify all A380 passenger doors. The mobile ARTS Structure Repair Crew supports you in A380 door modification anywhere in the world.

ARTS assumes responsibility for the following process steps:

• Removal of insulation • Removal of relevant structural components including preparation

for structural modifications• Calibration and measurement of components including preliminary modification of the structure of the

passenger doors• Special Detailed Inspection (SDI)• Roto testing• Cold forming of structural components (flap peening/cold working)• Final installation of the modified structure including fasteners• Installation of the cover mechanism assemblies as well as cover plates, seals, door components and insulation

A380 door modification is performed by our Structure Repair Crew. After the door is removed from the Airbus A380 and placed it in the jig, our technical experts work on the door modification. While observing all applicable standards (SRM, AMM, IPC, 80-T, TA) the Service Bulletins are systematically implemented step by step.

Our Structure Repair Crew removes the door insulation, then dismantles the cover plates, the cover mechanism assembly and seals and, then prepares the door for modification.

After your employees have removed the paintwork, the ARTS Structure Repair Crew resumes work and removes the old structural components from the doors.

A Special Detailed Inspection (SDI) is performed using High-frequency Eddy Current (HFEC). This is carried out

8 9

by our NDT auditor, who is certified according to EN 4179 standard. If a thorough inspection of the doors does not reveal any irregularities, our technical experts proceed with the next process steps.

During the flap peening and cold working steps in the process, our technical experts re-shape the surfaces and thus remove the symptoms of fatigue from the struc-tural components.

Until reinforcement parts are finally installed, they are laid onto the doors and provisionally attached using fixation pins.

After approval of the quality assurance and paintwork, our Structure Repair Crew installs the cover plates, cover mechanism assemblies, door seals, door components and insulation.
