INTRODUCTION
1. General
A. Revision Number 133, the technical content of this document is approved under the authority of the DOA
ref. EASA 21J.031.
This manual has been prepared in accordance with Air Transport Association Specification iSpec 2200,
to include descriptive information as well as specific instructions and data relative to the field repair of
structures and structural components of the A320.
The SRM contains information about the Allowable Damage Limits, material Identification for structure
subjects to field Repair, typical Repairs which are generally applicable to structural components of
the airplane, that are most likely to be damaged. In addition to that substitute materials and fastener
information as well as a brief description of some procedures carried out in conjunction with structural
repairs, such as protective treatment of repair parts and sealing of integral fuel tanks.
The information in this manual is valid for maintenance and repair on aircraft or in shop at component
level.
NOTE: A new revision of the SRM does not supersede the previous ones. The existing Allowable Damage
Limits (ADL) and Repairs assessed and done with previous versions of the SRM are still valid and
no reassessment is required unless specified via an Airworthiness Directive. However, AIRBUS re-
commends always using the latest revision of the SRM.
NOTE: If you cannot find the data or a procedure you need to ensure the continued airworthiness of the
aircraft, or if you think that the information given is not complete, contact AIRBUS.
B. This manual, which is noncustomized, will serve as a medium through which all A320 operators will be
advised of actual repairs of a general-interest nature developed by Airbus.

2. Layout of the Manual Chapters
A. Information of a general nature or information which is applicable to more than one chapter is included in
Chapter 51: Structures - General.
B. The repair manual chapters 52 thru 57 have a similar layout, in which the following topics are included:
(1). Identification of Major Components and Structural Spare Parts
(a) Major Components
In the Identification, the major components of a Structural assembly/arrangement are described,
illustrated and listed in tabular form. Item numbers are allotted to key the list to the illustration,
and each item number is allotted a nomenclature and a reference to its location within the
chapter.
(b) Structural Spare Parts
In the Identification, the individual parts of the major component are illustrated and listed in
tabular form. Each Identification begins with an introduction which includes a general information
paragraph. The Identification contains all the necessary information concerning structural parts.
All Identification columns have a typical layout as follows:
- Column 'ITEM'All required items, shown on the appropriate illustration, are listed in this
column, in sequential order, but not in logical steps. Structural components fitted in the same
position with different effectivities, will be identified with an item number followed by a suffix
letter A, B, C etc.
- Column 'NOMENCLATURE'This column contains the exact description of structural
components shown in the appropriate illustrations.
- Column 'P/N'Structural components will be given an Airbus part number consisting of up to
fourteen characters. This part number will be given in this column. When applicable Spare
Part or Conditional Spare Part are displayed after the original part number. For Conditional
Spare part, the condition to be fulfilled as well as the part number is shown after clicking on the
corresponding hyperlink. Refer to paragraph (Effectivities) for further rules to apply Allowable
or Repair tasks to an Spare Part (i.e interchangeable part). In general the 'as drawn' parts
are LH and are provided with an even part number suffix, but in exceptional cases the 'as
drawn' parts may be RH and then provided with an even part number suffix.For the SRM the
following rule has been applied in order to enable the customer to order the correct part:Quite
independent of whether the illustrated part is LH or RH in the SRM, the identification section
always states the LH part number on the first line and the RH part number on the second
line.Non complicated composite components (tips, leading edge etc.) are identified in detail
by number of plies, material thickness, ply orientation and material information.Complicated
composite components are identified by the complete thickness and location of structural
parts, (stringers, ribs etc.) with their dimensions.The part number itself is hyperlinked. By
actuating the link additional information as follows is available:a) Column 'SPECIFICATION
AND/OR SECTION CODE': All information for structural components concerning the type of
materials and, if available, the appropriate standards (production methods) is given here.b)
Column 'DIMENSION AND/OR THICKNESS': Where necessary, additional information
concerning the thickness of sheet metal components will be given in this column. The US/
Imperial conversion (based on 1 in. = 25.4 mm) are given in brackets. If sections identified
in the column 'Specification or Section Code' are of more than one type, the dimensions
or shape (U.L.Z.) are also given in this column.c) Column 'MADE FROM': For Airbus parts
produced from any standard section the relevant information is given here.d) Column 'NHA':
The reference(s) for the selected PN is given in this column.
- Column 'ACTION OR REPAIR'In this column the reference to a repair, or action to be taken
in the event of damage is given. The following indications may be used:a) For existing
general repairs Chapter/Section/Subject Number is inserted.b) For existing specific repairs
Function Code or TASK is inserted in reference to Paragraph .c) For existing general and/or
specific allowable damage Function Code or Task is inserted in reference to Paragraph .d)
For a recommendation to replace the part the word 'Replace' is inserted.e) Where it is not
recommended to replace a part but no Repair exists the space is left blank. Should a Repair
be required and no information is given, a request must be sent to:AIRBUS S.A.SCustomer
ServicesTechnical Data Support and Services2, Rond–Point DEWOITINEBP9011231703
NOTE: Information related to repairs or allowable damage is not systematically inserted for all
parts. It is recommended to review the corresponding repairs and/or allowable damage
tasks during damage assessment.
NOTE: In case of a damage on a part identified in the SRM identification, the Mechanical Draw-
ing service shall be systematically used to check if a special part/concession impacts that
aircraft.
NOTE: Refer to paragraph 3.D for Allowable Damage having an effectivity related to a Weight Variant
or list of Weight Variants.
NOTE: The Allowable Damage Limits and Repairs provided in the SRM Chapters 52 thru 57 are
not applicable to aircraft structure that has been modified via Supplemental Type Certificate
(STC) or to repaired structure.
For Damage and Repairs to structure that has been modified via STC please contact the STC
holder.
(3). Repairs
(a) The section 'REPAIRS' contains sufficient information to enable the operator to carry out
permissible Repairs. Each of the Repair examples is described with the aid of a diagram, which
in turn is supplemented by materials lists and procedural instructions given in the subsequent
paragraphs.
NOTE: Refer to paragraph 3.D for Repairs having an effectivity related to a Weight Variant or list
of Weight Variants.
NOTE: The Allowable Damage Limits and Repairs provided in the SRM Chapter 52 thru 57 are
not applicable to aircraft structure that has been modified via Supplemental Type Certific-
ate (STC) or to repaired structure.
For Damage and Repairs to structure that has been modified via STC please contact the
STC holder.
(b) Standard practices, general procedures, typical Repairs and Rework procedures within Allowable
Damage applicable to more than one chapter are included in Chapter 51.
(c) As service experience indicates a requirement, this manual will be revised to include actual,
specific Repairs to both primary and secondary structures.
(d) Where Repairs are not included in the manual it does not follow that the structure is non
repairable, but that the application of a Repair has not been found to be practicable. Where it
is economically feasible or expedient consider the preparation of a specific Repair Scheme for
damage not covered by this manual.
(4). Definition of Terms
The following terms are used in the SRM and are defined as follows:
- WARNING: CALLS ATTENTION TO USE OF MATERIAL, PROCESSES, METHODS,
PROCEDURES OR LIMITS WHICH MUST BE FOLLOWED PRECISELY TO AVOID INJURY OR
DEATH TO PERSONS.
- CAUTION: CALLS ATTENTION TO METHODS AND PROCEDURES WHICH MUST BE
FOLLOWED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
- NOTE: Calls attention to methods which make the job easier or provide supplementary or
explanatory information.
- WARNINGS and CAUTIONS are located directly above the text to which they relate and vertically
in line with the numerical or alphabetical breakdown of the steps to which they apply. Notes follow
the text to which they relate and are located directly under and vertically in line with the text to
which they apply.
(5). Reference to a maintenance check interval (i.e. A-Check or C-Check) for temporary Allowable
Damage Limits and Repairs.
Airbus is in the process of removing any reference to maintenance check intervals from the SRM.
Until this is complete the statement below should be applied to all temporary Allowable Damage
Limits and Repairs that reference maintenance checks.
Temporary Allowable Damage Limits and Repairs are justified for a limited number of flight cycles,
flight hours or calender time. When limits are given in maintenance "letter" check intervals associated
with FC, FH or calender time, the airworthiness limit is the one given in FC, FH or calendar time, the
"maintenance" check being only a recommendation associated with that airworthiness limit.
3. Effectivities
CAUTION: IDENTIFICATION CHAPTERS ARE CONFIGURED AT MSN LEVEL AND AS SUCH THE AIR-
NAVX / AIRN@V / REPAIR FILTER IS APPLICABLE TO THOSE FIGURES. HOWEVER THE
ALLOWABLE DAMAGE LIMITS AND REPAIR TASKS ARE NOT CONFIGURED AT MSN
LEVEL AND, AS A CONSEQUENCE, THE AIRNAVX / AIRN@V / REPAIR FILTER WILL NOT
BE APPLICABLE TO THOSE TASKS.
A. General
(1). Identification

The applicability of Allowable Damage or Repairs may be function of the Aircraft Weight Variant. The
Allowable Damage or Repairs may therefor be associated to an effectivity related to a Weight Variant or
list of Weight Variants. This is indicated using Weight Variant Effectivity Tables as shown in Figure 001.
When Allowable Damage or Repairs are associated to a Weight Variant effectivity, the operator has to
refer to:
- the 'Weight Variant Identification List' (Table 003) given in paragraph 23.A to find all necessary
information related to the Weight Variants, their maximum weights and the modification.
- the 'Service Bulletin/Weight Variant List' (Table 004) given in paragraph 23.B to find all necessary
information related to possible changes of the Weight Variants after Service Bulletin embodiment.
- the 'Weight Variant Coverage List' (Table 005) given in paragraph 23.C to find all necessary information
related to the coverage of a Weight Variant by another one, when applicable.
- the 'Weight Variant Exclusion List' given in paragraph 23.D to find information related to the Weight
Variant exclusion, and is applicable to Allowable Damage and Repairs having no Weight Variant
Effectivity Table.
- the Airplane Allocation List given in paragraph 24 to find the cross-reference between the Manufacturer
Serial Number (MSN) and the Weight Variant (WV) as known at the time of delivery.
Specific notes can be added to Weight Variant Effectivity Tables. In certain cases, the applicability of the
Repair may be reduced for certain Weight Variants. This is indicated using additional notes as shown in
Figure 002.
The Notes are related to the complete list of variants given in the associated line.
In the above example, a repair associated to such a table is applicable without restriction for A3XX-2XX,
WV 000 to 010 but is limited to the area between Frame 1 thru Frame 24 for A3XX-2XX, WV 011, 012,
013, 014 and for A3XX-1XX, WV 000, 001, 002.
These notes can also be associated to additional specific applicability requirements as shown in Figure
003.

NOTE: When a SRM part number shall be ordered via the Airbus Spares portal it is required to
add two zeros to the part number to be recognized in the spares system as technical spe-
cification suffix number. The suffix is normally two or three digits. The 2-digit technical
specification number is used to describe delivery configuration for parts, which may be
different from the production drawing to facilitate installation as a replacement part. These
differences are typically things like: holes left undrilled; consumable hardware included
with component; re-usable panels omitted; etc. Specific differences from the production
drawing are detailed in the Spares Technical Specification (STS) sheet.
IMPLICATIONS OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION: Parts, which have identical 12 di-
git basic part numbers, are interchangeable provided STS differences are incorporated
during part replacement. (For example, re-usable panels must be recovered from the re-
moved component, if that is a specified difference). Parts produced for factory installa-
tion, or for spares support and exactly in accordance with the production drawing, are as-
signed Technical Specification "00". Some of these parts were marked with the 12-digit
basic part number only. These parts are equivalent to parts with Technical Specification
"00". Therefore the basic part number is not included in the SRM, but is understood to be
identical to the 14-digit part number ending in "00". STS are available on Airbus World
portal.
A. This manual is processed by methods which preclude the printing of the registered trade name symbol (R).
Registered trade names are therefore printed in capital letters, e.g. HI-LOK.
B. The legal rights of the respective manufacturers are fully acknowledged, and in no circumstance does the
absence of registered trade name symbols imply that such registered trade names may be freely used by
any other person(s).
18. Service Bulletin Lists
The service bulletin list is provided in order to enable the user to determine which service bulletin has been
incorporated into the manual.
19. Consumable Materials
All details of the consumable products currently specified in SRM topics are listed in the CONSUMABLE
MATERIAL LIST (CML).

Reference to Stations and Elevator ribs, Frames, Ribs, Stiffeners and Rudder ribs are used as follows:
- IN TEXTSTAXXX(ERXXX) or STAXXXX(FRXX)
- IN ILLUSTRATIONSSTAXXX/ERXXX or STAXXXX/FRXX
21. Alphanumerical Index List
Not applicable to the airnavX / AirN@v / Repair version of the SRM.
22. Structural Repair Inspections
Each Structural Repair Inspections contains all necessary information about effectivity, area of applicability,
inspection thresholds/intervals and inspection location/methods in order to inspect Allowable Damage and
Repair. The SRI Intro is located in the Manual Front Matter.
23. Weight Variant Information
The paragraph contains information on aircraft Weight Variants with its different technical relation to the
Aircraft Type. This information must be checked before the Allowable Damage Data or Repair will be applied.
The paragraph is divided in subparagraphs and contains in tables all information about the Weight Variants as
follows:
- A. Weight Variant Identification List - shows the relation of Weight Variants, design/maximum weights and
related modification number for variant changes.
- B. Service Bulletin/Weight Variant List - shows the service bulletin to related modification number and the
Weight Variant after Service Bulletin embodiment.
- C. Weight Variant Coverage List - gives information related to extension of Weight Variant coverage by
association of Weight Variant, for Weight Variant which are not listed in the Weight Variant Tables of
