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, within 24 months after the effective date of this AD: Plug the six receptacle holes on the heat shield of the left-hand air conditioning pack and plug the four receptacle holes on the heat shield of the right-hand air conditioning pack, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A330-21-3148, dated January 30, 2009 (for Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes); or Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340-21-4147, dated January 30, 2009 (for Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes; and Model A340-311, -312, and -313 airplanes); as applicable.
