BACKGROUND:
Several operators have reported corrosion in the cargo floor structure area. In particular, most impacted locations are in the cross beams
attachment holes, roller tracks lower flanges and in the bilge area all along the fuselage.
This document summarizes preventive maintenance actions related to the cargo floor structure, provides protection and packaging transportation
advices.
DESCRIPTION:
Several operators have reported corrosion on roller tracks and/or longitudinal floor beams. Further to the technical symposium in Cairo in May
2000, a specific task force with airline participation was launched to investigate this issue. The close collaboration with the airlines engineering
allowed an intensive exchange of experiences and knowledge and the development of practical orientated design improvements.
This article summarizes the improvements related directly to the cargo floor structure.
SOLUTION / RECOMMENDATION:
1) Crossbeams that are located under floor panels joints should be protected with Skyflex adhesive tape (CML 14AJD1). This tape, made from
expanded PTFE, is an approved Airbus standard (ABS5631). It improves the floor sealing and deflects any fluids that may enter through floor
panel joints.
Serial MOD 50097/D44094: from MSN 532 (delivered in June 2003),
Retrofit MOD through AMM 53-00-00 PB201 tasks.
3) Drainage: Airbus has also developed a better drainage of the cargo floor structure. For details, refer to:
4) Packaging:
Follow the recommendations of ISI 25.50.00058 (“Cargo - Fluid Spillage in Cargo - prevention, decontamination, deodorizing”) and
Livestock Transportation Manual (LTM)
Load seafood in Unit Load Devices (ULD) as pallets or containers. Seafood should be packed in containers that are watertight.
Containers should be stowed in upright position. "THIS WAY UP” labels should be used.
In case of spillage, apply special cleaning procedure AMM 51-78-00 or SRM 51-78-16.
Reapply water repellent and corrosion inhibitor after cleaning
5) In case of accidental aggressive media spillage, enhanced cleaning procedures have been reviewed in the AMM 12-21-12 PB 301 and
AMM 51-78-00 PB 701. Airbus recommends in addition to perform a wet cleaning of the cargo compartment every 2C-Check:
8) Allowable damage limits and repairs for cargo roller tracks are available since 2005 in SRM 53-00-14.
Allowable damage limits and repair procedures for crossbeams have been introduced into the following SRM chapters:
SRM 53-21-14 PB100 & PB200
SRM 53-31-14 PB100 & PB200
SRM 53-41-14 PB100 & PB200
