Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-16628 · Fuel
Airbus Model A330-243F Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2015-21-03. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Airbus Model A330-243F airplanes; certificated in any category; all manufacturer serial numbers on which Airbus modification 56966H16199 has been embodied in production or Airbus Service Bulletin A330-28-3105 has been embodied in service;.
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:
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Dispatch of an airplane with any inoperative main fuel pump is prohibited as of the effective date of this AD.
Before further flight after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include the following statement. This may be done by inserting a copy of this AD into the AFM.
“Dispatch with any inoperative main fuel pump is prohibited.”
Note 1: When a statement identical to that in paragraph (h) of this AD has been included in the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted into the AFM, and the copy of this AD may be removed from the AFM.
Note 2: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: EASA AD 2010-0132, dated June 28, 2010, affected certain Model A330-243, -243F, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. This AD affects only the newly certified Model A330-243F airplanes. FAA AD 2010-08-08 addresses the identical unsafe condition for the Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes.
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.
