Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16123 · Engine fuel and control
Airbus Model A330-243 Airplanes and Model A330-341, -342, and -343 Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus Model A330-243, -341,-342, and -343 airplanes, all manufacturing serial numbers (MSN), except those on which Airbus Modification 56722 has been embodied in production.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Unless already done, do the following actions: Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, do the actions specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
(1) Reprogram the data entry plug on both engines to activate the intermediate pressure turbine overspeed protection function, including doing applicable revisions of the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM), in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-73-3049, Revision 01, dated November 13, 2008.
Note 1: IPTOS function activation has the following operational consequences: Modification of the AFM and the flightcrew operating manual (FCOM). Accomplishment of the actions specified in Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-73-3049, Revision 01, dated November 13, 2008 (Airbus Modification 56722), cancels Airbus A330 AFM Supplement 6.03.08, dated June 2, 2006; and Volumes 1 and 3 (1.70.20, 1.70.95, and 3.02.70) of the Airbus A330 FCOM have been modified.
(2) Actions accomplished before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-73-3049, dated November 14, 2007, are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding action specified in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: No differences.
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.
