Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12634 · Airbus Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 Series Airplanes
Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 series airplanes; certificated in any category; except those on which Airbus Modification 46877 (Airbus Service Bulletin A330-71-3010, dated September 25, 1999) or Rolls-Royce Service Bulletin RB211-71- C639, dated September 10, 1999, has been accomplished.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 series airplanes. This action requires modifying the rear engine mount by replacing the existing fail-safe link with a new, improved fail-safe link. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the fail-safe link of the rear engine mount, which, in combination with failure of the primary load path for the engine, could result in separation of the engine from the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
