Zonal Analysis Procedure Zonal inspections may be developed from application of the Zonal Analysis Procedure. This requires a summary review of each zone on the aircraft and normally occurs as the MSG-3 analyses of structures, systems,and powerplants are being concluded. These inspections may subsequently be included in the Zonal Inspections. In top down analyses conducted under MSG-3, many support items such as plumbing, ducting, Other Structure,wiring, etc., may be evaluated for possible contribution to functional failure. In cases where a general visual inspection is required to assess degradation, the zonal inspection is an appropriate method.

2.1 Zonal & L/HIRF Analysis - Generic Process

Zonal & L/HIRF general principles MSG-3 document treats Zonal & L/HIRF in two independent sections Zonal and L/HIRF analyses are performed as one unique procedure taking advantage of the similarity between both processes Zones are sensitive or not sensitive to L/HIRF threats. As per MSG-3, most of the L/HIRF protection and in particular the aircraft structure continuity are covered by the Standard Zonal Analysis The Zonal & L/HIRF analysis consists of the following sub-processes: Zone description
Zonal Analysis: - Standard Zonal Analysis part (applies to all zones) - Enhanced Zonal Analysis part (applies to zones with wiring) Lightning/High Intensity Radiated Field (L/HIRF) Zonal Analysis (applies to L/HIRF protection elements) Consolidation

Any Airbus aircraft is divided into 9 major zones as follows:
Major Zones (External) 100 Lower half of fuselage (below cabin floor), including radome to ramp 200 Upper half of fuselage (above cabin floor) to end of main deck cargo compartment 300 Stabilizers and fuselage rear section 400 Power plant (including propeller) 500 LH wing 600 RH wing 700 Landing gear & landing gear doors 800 Doors 900 Special use (e.g. external fuel pods)
Major Sub-Zones (Internal) Sub-divisions of major zones, e.g. 100 is divided into 110, 120, 130 Zones (Internal) Sub-divisions of major sub-zones, e.g.120 is divided into121,122,123...

Zonal Inspection Program (ZIP) principles
The Zonal Inspection Program has one single level of inspection! General Visual Inspection (GVI)
Inspection to be carried out from within touching distance, unless otherwise stated A mirror may be necessary to ensure visual access to all exposed surfaces in the inspection area

Zonal Inspection Program (ZIP) principles The Zonal Inspection Program provides the General Visual Inspection (GVI) requirements for each aircraft zone to inspect system and powerplant installations for security and general condition and structure for general condition The Zonal Inspection Program is based on dividing the aircraft into zones. Each zone is usually defined by a clearly defined physical boundary, e.g. rib, bulkhead, frames, etc
Each zone is to be inspected as far as visible with the relevant access open/removed The extent of the inspection is defined by the access e.g. identification of access doors, positioning of flight control surfaces, removal of lining and insulation, etc Inspections are recommended to be accomplished at or before stated intervals

Zonal Inspection Program (ZIP) principles Each zone is analysed for type of damage/deterioration to structure/systems located in the zone which may occur in-service Zonal inspection tasks do not provide a summary of all the individual systems and structural items to be inspected in the affected zone Therefore it is considered that a person performing inspections has an adequate knowledge of overall aircraft construction and systems
Zones may need more than one inspection at different intervals due to the depth at which the zone is to be examined requiring different levels of accessibility - e.g. The cargo compartment requires 3 ZIP inspections each requiring a different level of access (1.5 MO - door, 5 YE specific panels and 10YE all access open)

2.3 Zonal & L/HIRF Analysis - Standard Part

Standard zonal analysis principals The standard zonal analysis process is based on four parameters: - Accidental damage - Environmental damage - Density - Importance The final rating in the matrix box provides guidance for the inspection intervals (zonal guidance interval)
Intervals are defined according to applicable in-service experience Access is defined according to zone layout/installation It is expected that the area to be inspected is clean enough to minimise the possibility that accumulated dirt or grease might hide unsatisfactory conditions Any cleaning that is considered necessary should be performed before the zonal inspection task

The Zonal Inspection Program has inspection parameters in terms of letter check and calendar time, as follows: A - Check and multiples up to 4A C - Check and multiples up to 4C 6Y/5Y and 10Y/12Y The lower thresholds/intervals are mainly driven by the likelihood of accidental damage and systems reliability aspects. The access is usually limited to specific areas. The higher intervals usually have a more significant access requirement and are mainly concerned with the type of damage which has propagated over time or cycles to the point where it is large enough to be detected by a GVI.

2.4 Zonal & L/HIRF Analysis - Enhanced Part

Enhanced zonal analysis principals
The Enhanced Zonal Analysis Procedure (EZAP) permits appropriate
attention to be given to electrical wiring installation within a zone (particularly in zones having the potential for combustible material being present) The logic provides a means to identify applicable and effective tasks to minimise combustible material accumulation and to address significant wiring discrepancies that may not be reliably detected through Zonal Inspection Program (ZIP) tasks The enhanced zonal analysis must be performed for all zones that contain wiring

Contamination with combustible material
Equipment and wiring are subject to dust and lint accumulation due to: Air movement (natural, forced; typical areas are recirculation, galley & toilet etc.) Attraction by magnetic fields from electric current surrounding wiring and equipment Combustible material impact: Moisture trapping and subsequent corrosion Changes in electrical characteristics (dust & lint can act as conductor, e.g. with presence of moisture, they can provide a path for a short circuit) Heat insulation which can cause overheat and premature failure or contribute to fire ignition Fire propagation in case of severe dust and lint accumulation
Wiring cleaning task are selected based on manufacturer/operators experience Airbus has service condition experience from enhanced zonal exercises for legacy (Wide Body, Single Aisle, Long Range)

Dedicated wiring inspection task principles It is considered useful to know the standard zonal GVI interval in order to harmonise the overall access requirements The assessment of DENSITY, SIZE and POTENTIAL EFFECT OF FIRE IN ZONE provides guidance on whether the zonal inspection program GVI is adequate for all wiring in the zone, or if these GVI task(s) must be augmented with stand-alone GVI(s) or DET inspection(s)
Most of the wiring is considered adequately addressed with the Zonal Inspection Program (ZIP) GVI tasks Some portion of wiring in the zone/area may require a dedicated maintenance task (e.g. stand-alone GVI or DET) in respect to potential fire ignition and/or potential for loss of multiple functions to the extend that continued safe operation may not be possible

Comments on stand-alone GVIs
ZIP GVI Tasks: Zonal Inspection Programme GVI does not focus on particular item or feature (the GVI task defined by the zone reference, access requirements and interval) All system (including wiring) and structure features evident with the quoted access are subject to the inspection ATA20 GVI Tasks: The term stand-alone GVI is used to identify GVI tasks covering items or features that require particular attention in the frame of the EZAP and/or L/HIRF analysis Stand alone GVI tasks focus on items clearly defined by the task description (e.g. General Visual Inspection of P Wiring Route installed in the Main Deck Forward Cabin Overhead Area, LH/RH) Stand alone GVI tasks are listed in ATA chapter 20 (System & Powerplant Section of Maintenance Program) Consequently stand-alone GVI are the same inspection level as any other ZIP, SSI or MSI GVI task The difference to ZIP GVI tasks is that stand-alone GVIs focus on dedicated items/issues whereas ZIP GVIs cover all items visible with the given access

Enhanced zonal analysis summary
The Enhanced Zonal Analysis consists of two main parts: 1. Evaluation of combustible material and possible reduction of arcing related risk All combustible material in the zone is listed The related Description, Answers, Remarks, Comments and Justification sections provide clear detail on the assessment 2. The wiring inspection level is evaluated using rating tables for: Density Together from the assessment for the inspectability criteria of a zone /dedicated area Size Potential effect of fire on adjacent wiring and systems in the zone As result, the analysis identifies if the ZIP GVI is sufficient for the whole zone plus additional dedicated tasks (GVI-stand alone and/or DET) where applicable Note: The actual task interval is based on environment & accidental damage assessment (as for the ZIP GVIs)

L/HIRF protection principals
Equipment protection In addition to the equipment inherent protection (circuit layout and box design), clamping, filtering and transient protection devices (tranzorbs) prevent damage from induced voltage/current resulting from L/HIRF encounter Hidden failure of these features is unlikely due to: - High reliability figures of the transient suppressor - Methodical shop testing after each unscheduled removal - Build In Test Equipment (BITE)
System architecture Is designed to achieve systems safety and availability objectives and contributes to increase the non-susceptibility of systems to L/HIRF effects Main features are: - Segregation of electrical wiring routes and equipment installation - Redundancy and dissimilarity. - Systems and functions monitoring (comparison, data coherence)

Type certificate relationship
Requirements/ compliance L/HIRF Assurance Plan is usually implemented under the responsibility of the Civil Type Certificate holder and serves two purposes: To confirm that the design of the L/HIRF protection is adequate to maintain Type Certification objectives throughout aircraft life, and To identify specific locations within the L/HIRF protection system where there may be a need for scheduled maintenance in order to address any systematic deterioration that could eventually impact the Type Certification protection level
Assurance plan (TBD)

Zonal L/HIRF protection analysis summary
The L/HIRF zonal analysis consists of 2 main parts 1. Assessment of required inspection level: Density and potential effect of L/HIRF protection deterioration define required level (ZIP or dedicated ATA chapter 20 L/HIRF task) Evaluation of specific L/HIRF protection element if required Density and potential reduction of overall L/HIRF protection define required level (GVI stand alone, DET or FNC for each additional specific task) The task interval is based on assessment of environment & accidental damage similar to the enhanced zonal analysis

Basic systems & power plant principal Systems evaluations are based upon the functional failures and the failure causes Function
(Normal characteristic actions of an item)
Functional Failure
(How an item failed to perform its function)
Failure effects
(What is the result of the functional failure)
Causes
(Why the functional failure occurs)
Pipework and wiring are part of system installation, but the related failure causes are normally not considered by system analysis
All tubing, wiring installed in a zone is subject to the zonal analysis and the resulting ZIP GVI together with all other system and structure However, the systems working group may select MSI tasks for specific wiring/tubing in particular cases
The cause show functional degradation characteristics: Mechanical fault Electrical fault Failing in open or closed position Open or short circuit Jammed linkage Contaminated orifice Broken housing etc.

2.7 Zonal & L/HIRF Analysis - Transfer

Transfer requirement acceptance criteria
Systems/powerplant and structure program GVI items may be considered as being covered by the ZIP as long as the following criteria are met: The access requirements of the MSI/SSI are the same as or less severe than the ZIP task in the same area The ZIP task is performed as frequently or more frequently than the thresholds/intervals of the relevant MSI / SSI
A list of all transferred MSI task(s) and SSI task(s) covered by the Zonal Program is available for reference (e.g. MRBR appendix) Therefore, a dedicated inspection is not required for these SSI task(s) and MSI task(s) if the equivalent ZIP task is performed

4. Summary
The Zonal Analysis is a integrated approach with:
Combined description section Zonal analysis with standard and enhanced issues clearly identified in dedicated sections (the standard section covering certain L/HIRF issues) Integrated zonal L/HIRF analysis part Final consolidation
The actual zonal analysis consists of 3 main parts:

1. Standard zonal analysis to develop the ZIP general visual inspections
2. Enhanced zonal analysis addressing potential fire risk of wiring and related accumulation of combustible material concern for in service aircraft 3. Zonal L/HIRF analysis to develop related tasks in terms of susceptibility to degradation (accidental damage / environmental deterioration)
The consolidation will derive

Harmonised zonal analysis results for both, the ZIP and ATA-20 tasks The Zonal Inspection Programme (ZIP) including the transfers from systems & structure
