COMPLIANCE TIME
Airbus anticipates that a dedicated Airworthiness Directive (AD) will be released to mandate the update of the Operators approved
Maintenance Program (OMP) according to Airbus A340 ALS Part 4 Revision 04. The compliance chapter of this future AD will give an
implementation period for introduction of the new or revised instructions and airworthiness limitations introduced by this Revision in the
OMP. Airbus recommends Operators to consider the implementation of these changes in the OMP at the next scheduled opportunity in
order to anticipate future AD requirements.
Accomplishment of maintenance tasks and/or replacement of items in SECTION 3 and SECTION 4 will also be mandated by the future
AD. Some maintenance tasks and/or items replacements may be subject to specific compliance time. When applicable, the compliance
time deadlines are indicated in the table below as advanced information for Operators in order to anticipate future AD requirements.

4. DEFINITION OF ALS PART 4 CONTENT
4.1 SYSTEMS LIFE-LIMITED COMPONENTS
Components/items listed under SECTION 3 are those affected by a replacement requirement

associated to a life limitation and whose failure could contribute to an unsafe condition of the
aircraft.
For a given PNR, when more than one set of limitations is published for the same application,
the selection depends on the aircraft utilization. No combination of limitations from different sets
is permitted.
Life limitations quoted in SECTION 3 are applicable to the undamaged detail components/items
as listed, not to the assembly or the aircraft on which they are installed.
4.1.1 LIFE LIMITS
Components/items listed under SECTION 3, paragraph 1 are those having a life limit due to
failure during tests and whose failure could result in a catastrophic or hazardous failure
condition.
4.1.2 CURRENT DEMONSTRATED LIVES
Components/items listed under SECTION 3, paragraph 2 are those having a demonstrated life
limitation, which is temporary waiting for completion of the tests.
4.2 SYSTEMS INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The maintenance tasks given in in SECTION 4 include airworthiness limitations set to prevent
the aircraft systems failures, which could contribute to an unsafe condition of the aircraft.
Note: Credit may be taken for accomplishment of the Maintenance Review Board Report
(MRBR) Systems and Power plant section maintenance tasks, providing that they are
performed with the same inspection level, at least as frequently as the inspection
threshold and interval quoted in this document.
SECTION 4, paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 provide maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations at component level and aircraft (system) level respectively.
4.2.1 CONTROLLED AT COMPONENT/SUB-ASSEMBLY LEVEL
SECTION 4, paragraph 1 identifies maintenance tasks controlled at component/item level. The

recurrent maintenance requirements are applicable no later than the component/item, not the
aircraft, reaching the airworthiness limitation.
When components/items given in SECTION 4, paragraph 1 reach the stated airworthiness
limitations, the given maintenance task must be carried out. Any component/item removed from
the aircraft for any reason, (such as failure of functional check, degradation of condition, etc.)
shall be replaced by a serviceable component/item, which has not reached the stated
airworthiness limitations.
4.2.2 CONTROLLED AT AIRCRAFT SYSTEM LEVEL
SECTION 4, paragraph 2 identifies maintenance tasks controlled at aircraft level. The recurrent
maintenance requirements are applicable no later than the aircraft, not the component/item,
reaching the airworthiness limitation.
The maintenance tasks listed in SECTION 4, paragraph 2 must be carried out when the aircraft
reaches the stated airworthiness limitation. Should a failure to reach the task requirements be
detected, the appropriate trouble-shooting must be carried out and the relevant suspected
components/items replaced in accordance with the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM)
procedures. Following any replacements, the listed maintenance tasks must be repeated until a
successful maintenance task recording can be entered.
5. BASIC RULES
5.1 CLOCK STARTING POINT FOR SEMR
This paragraph provides general rules related to the starting point for calculation of due dates or
times for limitations and maintenance requirements identified in this document according to the
different usage parameters.
5.1.1 AT AIRCRAFT LEVEL
For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 2:

- The threshold is applied from the initial entry into service of the aircraft (unless
otherwise stated).
- The next interval is calculated from the original due date of the last accomplishment of
the task, excluding any exceptional short-term extensions from calculation.
When alternative inspection methods are provided, the next interval applicable is the
one associated with the inspection method used at last inspection.
For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 2 whose interval is changed, the next
accomplishment must be determined from previous accomplishment date unless otherwise
stated.
The time to start the clock for maintenance tasks with applicability determined by post-delivery
modification is the date of MOD embodiment.
5.1.2 AT COMPONENT/ITEM LEVEL
For the transferable systems components/items, the starting point or initial entry into service is
defined as the date at which the component/item accomplishes the first flight for which it will
undertake its intended function (unless otherwise stated).
For the components/items in SECTION 3:
- The life limitation indicated against PNR originally fitted is counted from the first flight of
the component/item (unless otherwise stated).
- The life limitation indicated against PNR evolutions is also to be counted from the first
flight of the component/item (unless otherwise stated).
For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4, paragraph 1:
- The threshold is applied from the initial entry into service of the component/item (unless
otherwise stated).
- The next interval is calculated from the original due date of the last accomplishment of
the task limitation, excluding any exceptional short-term extensions from calculation.
When alternative inspection methods are provided, the next interval applicable is the
one associated with the inspection method used at last inspection.
For maintenance tasks in SECTION 4 paragraph 1 whose interval is changed, the next
accomplishment must be determined from previous accomplishment date unless otherwise
stated.
The time to start the clock for maintenance tasks with applicability determined by post-delivery
modification is the date of MOD embodiment.
5.2 TRACEABILITY
Components/items listed under SECTION 3 and SECTION 4, paragraph 1 have to be

considered as “life-limited” components and therefore it is necessary to assure traceability and
monitoring of these parts as per EASA Part M.A.305 – Aircraft continuing airworthiness record
system.
In the context of the ALS Part 4, traceability means records that clearly demonstrate the history
of components/items back to initial entry into service of the part, so that life limitations are
accurately applied. Traceability records may comprise, but are not limited to, the following:
- Application history (aircraft type, model, weight variant, MSN i.e. Manufacturer Serial
Number, etc.),
- Maintenance actions carried out (Airworthiness Directives, modifications, repairs,
inspections, etc.),
- Life accumulation (accounting for any individual aircraft to which a component/item
may have been fitted).
Where the complete life history of a component/item is not known, Operators are requested to
refer to the Service Information ISI 00.05.00003 for guidance. It provides the means to manage
such components/items. It has been issued in agreement with the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA).
Note: Traceability and monitoring of component/item is not required for consumable
component for which replacement is controlled at assembly/aircraft level.
In addition to the mandatory traceability and monitoring of the components/items listed in the
SECTION 3 and SECTION 4, paragraph 1, refer to ISI 05.00.00022 for the Recommended
Tracking of components/items, which could be subject to future Airworthiness Limitation.
5.3 INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK
5.4 TRANSFER OF FATIGUE RELATED COMPONENTS/ITEMS BETWEEN AIRCRAFT

APPLICATIONS/AIRCRAFT CONFIGURATION CHANGE
The airworthiness limitation(s) for a fatigue-related (i.e. ATA 27 and 32) component/item may be
different when
- The component/item is transferred to another application (aircraft type, aircraft model,
weight variant, etc.).
- The aircraft configuration is changed as a result of MOD/SB embodiment (weight
variant, landing gear standard, etc.).
In these cases, the component/item’s remaining life must be calculated using the following
formula:
  Ca j 
Tri  1      Cp i
  Cp 
 j 
with:
Tri = component/item’s remaining life for operation on current application i.
Caj = component/item’s accumulated life on previous application j.
Cpj = component/item’s airworthiness limitation in previous application j.
Cpi = component/item’s airworthiness limitation in current application i.
When a component/item has been installed on an application where the ALS Part 4 does not
impose an airworthiness limitation, the aircraft systems utilization values in SECTION 1,
paragraph Maintenance Program Publication/Publication Trigger of the relevant ALS Part 4 shall
be used.
Note 1: When using the above formula, Tri, Caj, Cpj and Cpi are expressed in the same usage
parameter (e.g. FH or FC or LDG): Usage parameters cannot be mixed in the same
calculation.
Note 2: The remaining life calculation must be reassessed every time the component/item’s
airworthiness limitation(s) change(s) for current and/or previous aircraft application(s)
to which the component/item is/was fitted.
5.5 DISPOSAL/QUARANTINE ACTION
When the components/items reach the life limitations, disposal/quarantine action shall be taken,
as per EASA Part M.A.504 – Control of unserviceable components, which asks for a status of
life limited components and a life limited components log card. Disposal/quarantine action
depends on the following categories:
- For components/items listed in the SECTION 3, paragraph 1 LIFE LIMITS: They shall
be mutilated beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy.
Note 1: The ultimate solution is the mutilation beyond repair limits to prevent rework to
appear to be airworthy, as per EASA Part M, AMC M.A.504 – Control of
unserviceable components.
Note 2: Some means may exist to extend their life potential provided they are applied
prior to reaching the life-limit (e.g. Service Bulletin: POST SB PNR).
- For components/items listed in the SECTION 3, paragraph 2 CURRENT
DEMONSTRATED LIVES: Appropriate means shall be implemented to deter their
installation on aircraft pending possible extension of their life limitations. Examples of
means are :
 Record keeping system,
 Non-permanent markings,
 Segregation (components stored separately from those currently eligible for
installation).
Note: When consumable components are removed, they must be mutilated beyond repair
limits to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy.
5.6 EXCEPTIONAL SHORT-TERM EXTENSIONS FOR SEMR ITEMS LISTED IN

SECTION 4
Since SECTION 4 System Installation Maintenance Requirements intervals are based on

statistical averages and reliability rates, an exceptional short-term extension for a specific
SECTION 4 interval may be made on one aircraft for a limited period of time without
compromising the safety objectives declared at Type Certification.
Repeated use of such extensions, either on the same aircraft or on similar aircraft in the
Operator’s fleet, should not be used as a substitute for good management practices. Short-term
extensions must not be used for fleet SEMR escalation.
Unless noted adjacent to the airworthiness limitation, for all airworthiness limitations identified in
the SECTION 4, it has been accepted by the Primary Certification Authority (EASA) that short-
term extensions up to the following maximum values may be granted without consultation with
that office.
(1) Controlled by Flight Hours (FH)
Extensions up to 10% or 500 FH (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on
SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Hours.
(2) Controlled by Flight Cycles or Landings (FC or LDG)
Extensions up to 5% or 250 FC/LDG (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on
SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of Flight Cycles or Landings.
(3) Controlled by Calendar Time
Where the repeat interval is 12 months or less, extensions up to 10% or 1 month (whichever is
the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on SEMR airworthiness limitations quoted in terms of
Months.
Where the repeat interval is greater than 12 months, extensions up to 2 months may
exceptionally be granted.
This paragraph in the ALS Part 4 is written to confirm to the Authority of the State of aircraft
registry that exceptional short-term extensions are permissible. Approval of such extensions
rests with the Authority of the State of aircraft registry in the same way as it does for any other
scheduled maintenance task interval extension.
Note: No short-term extensions are permissible for maintenance tasks previously required by
individual Ads. These items will be highlighted by a note in the task description column.

7. PRODUCTION CONCESSIONS, REPAIRS, ALS VARIATIONS, AIRWORTHINESS

DIRECTIVES AND ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE
Limitations of the ALS Part 4 may be superseded by instructions given in either a production
concession, a repair solution, an ALS Variation, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC),
an Airworthiness Directive (AD) or exemptions provided by National Aviation Authorities (e.g.
exemption supported by ASAC – Airbus Statement of Airworthiness Compliance).
When a limitation affected by a production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC is amended
within the Revision of the ALS Part 4 subsequent to the issuance date of the production
concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC, Operators are requested to contact Airbus for guidance
to establish impact on the production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC.
8. MODIFICATIONS/REPAIRS NOT DEVELOPED BY AIRBUS DOA CERTIFICATE

EASA.21J.031
If an aircraft/component has a modification or repair embodied, that has not been developed
under the authority of Airbus Design Organization Approval (DOA) No EASA.21J.031, and
affects the content of the ALS, the Design Approval Holder (e.g. Supplementary Type Certificate
(STC) holder) is responsible to provide any necessary adaptations of the ALS Part 4
airworthiness limitations.
