This lifted from the weekly in service summary from Airbus.
ATA 00 /78 – E ngine 4 drainmast damaged during landing
During landing, the engine #4 drainmast on the lower side of the nacelle contacted the runway. Aircraft landed safely and taxied to the gate normally.
At time of landing, crosswinds were reported, with gusts.
During post-flight inspection, the drain mast on engine #4 was found bent off-centre and scratched.
Drainmast was replaced. No findings from visual inspections per AMM Chapter 5. Analysis of LAT confirmed no additional inspections required.
The aircraft returned to service.
Investigation of this event is in progress.
Hopefully this satisfies any concerns about a perceived lack of required maintenance.
