Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19592 · Flight controls
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes, certificated in any category, manufacturer serial numbers as identified in Airbus Service Bulletin A350-27-P022, Revision 00, dated June 6, 2018.
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of un-torqued nuts on certain slat and flap shaft junctions of the wings. This AD requires a one-time inspection on each junction of certain slat and flap shafts for discrepancies, and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Within 3 months after the effective date of this AD: Do a one-time detailed inspection (including a torque check on any affected nut) on each junction of flap torque-shaft 2 and slat torque-shafts 2 and 4 of the right and left hand wing for discrepancies (including missing torque marking on any nut, any untorqued nut, or any missing bolt), and do all applicable corrective actions in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A350-27-P022, Revision 00, dated June 6, 2018. Do all applicable corrective actions at the applicable times specified in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Airbus Service Bulletin A350-27-P022, Revision 00, dated June 6, 2018.
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.
