eng123,
yup, there is a story behind my question - have a look at SB A340-28-4098 (there`s most probably also one for the A330). It`s the inspection of the LPSOV drive assemblies and its actuators. One part of the inspection is to check a certain dimension on the actuator.
This one-time inspection is fine with me. What I am concerned about is how many mechanics will miss the new AMM subtask to be added in the next revision that describes the same inspection for future installation jobs. Actuators that fail this SB or AMM subtask must not be installed on the a/c - but will everybody stumble across this AMM subtask? There`ll be some who don`t look at all, and some will only look into the test/close-up section, I am afraid...
With regards to whether this is a job you are familiar with or not: All of us have changed dozens of actuators in the last months - two jettison and two xfeed valve actuators per A340 were part of an Airbus retrofit programme.
Regards,
J.V.
