1. Reason for the Job

NOTE: SB RA32071-163 (equivalent to Airbus service bulletin SB 71-1068) introduces a lockable latch in the forward position (Latch No.1) that must be opened and closed and locked with a key and flag assembly. The key and flag assembly are stowed in the cockpit and must not be used if there is damage to the key or flag. The key always has to stay with the latch.

NOTE: If the fan cowl to be removed has a strake installed, the replacement fan cowl must also have a strake installed.
For aircraft A320, strakes must be installed on the inner side only.
For aircraft A319, A321, strakes must be installed on the both side.
