Airbus Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2015-16-02. Comply with the one in force.
Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes; except for those on which Airbus Modification 50044 has been accomplished in production, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes, that requires replacement of flap rotary actuators with modified flap rotary actuators. This action is necessary to prevent fatigue failure of the rotary actuator lever for the flaps, which could result in loss of the flap surface and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
