Thrust Reverser Seal Missing (A320*)
3.2.5.3.6. Landing Gear Doors
Mis-alignment or mis-rigging on any main or nose landing gear door will lead to unnecessary drag being generated.
The aerodynamic penalty and consequently the fuel burn penalty of a nose landing gear door mis-rig of 10 millimetres is similar to that for a missing aileron seal that is illustrated on page 39. The references are shown below:

MPD Task Reference: ZL-711-01-1 MPD Task Interval: every 100 days Estimated inspection time (all doors): 15 minutes (plus aircraft jacking for aft doors) Estimated re-rig time: 24 man-hours AMM Reference: 32-22-00 PB601
A similar mis-rig (10mm) on a main landing gear door has a slightly lower aerodynamic penalty because the aircraft is less sensitive to such problems at more aft positions. The additional fuel burn is presented below.
