A. General
(2) Inspection recommendations for composite parts
(a) If you find damage (signs of impact, damaged paintwork, abrasion, scratches or dents) on a composite part, you must do an inspection of the related damaged area for delamination and internal damage.
(3) If there is damage to the aircraft structure, refer to the Structural Repair Manual (SRM). The SRM gives the approved damage limits and repair procedures.
(4) If you replace a component because of an inspection, you must do an operational test of the related system.
(5) If a tire burst occurs when the landing gear is fully retracted, then only examine the items of equipment that follow:
(7) If there is a tire failure in service, the operator must record the applicable data on the tire-failure reporting sheet and send it to Airbus.
(8) General wheel inspection
(a) Before you do inspection of the wheel, refer to TSM 05-50-00-810-804.
(b) After a tire burst:
2 If the measured pressure is more than 80% of the nominal pressure (refer to the pressure tables), deflate and then replace the damaged wheel.
Subtask 05-51-15-210-055-A NOTE: All the necessary inspections are visual unless the text gives other instructions.
Operators can refer to the Non-destructive Testing Manual (NTM) and use non-destructive procedures.

- The landing gear well
- The landing gear doors
- The landing gear assemblies
- The hydraulic bay compartment.
(7) If there is a tire failure in service, the operator must record the applicable data on the tire-failure reporting sheet and send it to Airbus.

(b) After a tire burst:
- Replace the damaged wheel
- Deflate and replace the adjacent wheel.
NOTE: After a tread throw, it is possible that the tire will stay inflated.
1 If the tire is inflated when the aircraft is parked, let the tire become cool for three hours before you measure the pressure. 2 If the measured pressure is more than 80% of the nominal pressure (refer to the pressure tables), deflate and then replace the damaged wheel.
