Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19724 · Equipment/furnishings
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0115, dated May 28, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0115”).
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-06- 09, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes. AD 2019-06-09 required repetitive tightness checks of the baby bassinet inserts installed on stowages and partitions and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, as specified in a European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which was incorporated by reference. This new AD continues to require repetitive tightness checks of the baby bassinet inserts installed on stowages and partitions and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, and also requires modification of the baby bassinet inserts, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive tightness checks; as specified in an EASA AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by reports that baby bassinet inserts installed on airplane stowages and partitions were found loose because a self-securing fixation device (Loctite) had not been applied. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0115.
(1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this AD: Where EASA AD 2019-0115 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where EASA AD 2019-0115 specifies a date of December 26, 2018, for this AD use April 26, 2019 (the effective date of AD 2019-06-09).
(3) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2019-0115 does not apply to this AD.
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2019-0115 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
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.
