A. Inspection Requirements
(1) Definition:
Excessive turbulence is turbulence that causes large or sudden changes in the altitude and/or the attitude. It usually causes large changes in airspeed. Passengers and crew are moved suddenly against their seat belts and loose objects are moved in the aircraft.
Do this inspection after a flight crew report of flight in excessive turbulence or if data from the Digital Flight Data Recording System (DFDRS) or from the Quick Access Recorder (QAR) (if installed) show turbulence or maneuvers that caused a normal acceleration (VRTA) equal to or more than:
(a) + 2.5 g or - 1 g (clean configuration): VRTA >= 2.5 g or VRTA <= - 1 g,
(b) + 2 g or 0 g (flaps and/or slats extended): VRTA >= 2 g or VRTA <= 0 g, or
(c) + 2 g or 0 g and VMO/MMO condition i.e. CAS >= VMO or M >=MMO; and VRTA >= 2 g or VRTA <= 0 g.
During a flight in excessive turbulence, high lateral loads can occur.
(2) Excessive VMO-MMO
Do this inspection after a flight crew report of flight in excess of VMO/MMO or if data from the DFDRS or from the QAR (if installed) show:
(a) Speeds that were more than or equal to VMO + 20 Kts (CAS), or
(b) Speeds that were more than or equal to MMO + 0.04 M, or
(c) Speeds that were more than or equal to VMO or MMO and at which there was a normal acceleration out of the 0 g to + 2 g (inclusive) range.
(3) Confirmation that the inspection is necessary:
(a) Excessive turbulence
After a report of flight in excessive turbulence, you must do the inspection before the next flight if:
After a flight crew report of flight in excess of VMO/MMO, you must do the inspection before the next flight if:
(a) If the flight crew confirms that the flight was without excessive turbulence:
If there is no pilot report of high lateral loads, you must do inspections as per (Ref. AMM TASK 05-51-44-200-001) if:
If you find damage during the inspection, send to Airbus:
(8) If there is no finding during the inspection:

(c) Speeds that were more than or equal to VMO or MMO and at which there was a normal acceleration out of the 0 g to + 2 g (inclusive) range.
(3) Confirmation that the inspection is necessary:
(a) Excessive turbulence
After a report of flight in excessive turbulence, you must do the inspection before the next flight if:
- The parameters from the DFDR/QAR (if installed) or the Data Management Unit (DMU) load report 15 (with trigger code 5XX0) are equal to or more than the values specified in the above paragraph (Ref. AMM TASK 31-37-00-200-001).
After a flight crew report of flight in excess of VMO/MMO, you must do the inspection before the next flight if:
- The values in the flight crew report are equal to or more than the values specified in the above paragraph, or
- The parameters from the DFDR/QAR (if installed) are equal to or more than the values specified in the above paragraph.
NOTE: A DMU load report 15 can occur immediately after the vertical acceleration, or during flight phase 9 or 10 in relation to the DMU programming.
(5) DMU load report 15 available without pilot report (a) If the flight crew confirms that the flight was without excessive turbulence:
- Make an analysis of the load report to know if load report 15 is a correct report or a spurious (unjustified) report (Ref. AMM TASK 31-37-00-200-001).
NOTE: No inspection is necessary.
2 If the analysis does not confirm that load report 15 is a spurious (unjustified) report: - Do the inspections or
- Do a check of the DFDR data to confirm the values in the report.
If there is no pilot report of high lateral loads, you must do inspections as per (Ref. AMM TASK 05-51-44-200-001) if:
- There is a DMU load report 15 that shows values above 0.35 g (Ref. AMM TASK 31-37-00-200-001) or
- Data from the DFDR/QAR (if installed) shows values above 0.35 g.
If you find damage during the inspection, send to Airbus:
- Load report 15 (with trigger code 5XX0)
- The DFDR data (raw data)
- The load and trim sheet
- The pilot report
- The inspection findings.
(8) If there is no finding during the inspection:
- The aircraft can go back to service.
