Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13589 · Airbus Model A330-200 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A330-200 Series Airplanes
Model A330-200 series airplanes; certificated in any category; on which Airbus Modifications 48510 and 47628 have not been done during production.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330-200 series airplanes. This action requires certain modifications of the rudder servo controls. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the driving finger of the rudder servo control and consequent loss of the rudder servo control function in driving the rudder to its commanded position, which, if combined with an engine failure during takeoff or go around, could result in loss of control of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
