No load 15 report following a crew report of a hard landing requires an FDR readout or a severe landing inspection. It is a very important difference
@ Safety Concerns
It is also a big mistake to think that a Task for the A320Fam (05-51-11-200-004A) is the same as for the A330.
The correct task for the AF A330 is 05-51-11-200-802-A. There is
NO choice to read out the FDR
or do the severe landing inspection.
In contrary to the A320 you have to find out the landing impact parameters:

- Do the inspection in paragraph 4 and make a report of damage or what you find,
- Airbus will do an analysis of the incident to find if the aircraft can return to service. (The aircraft cannot return to service without Airbus decision).
