Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-19822 · Navigation
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (7) of this AD, certificated in any category.
(1) Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes.
(2) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes.
(3) Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes.
(4) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes.
(5) Model A340-311, -312, and -313 airplanes.
(6) Model A340-541 airplanes.
(7) Model A340-642 airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, Model A330-200 series airplanes, Model A330-300 series airplanes, Model A340-200 series airplanes, Model A340-300 series airplanes, Model A340-541 airplanes, and Model A340-642 airplanes. This AD was prompted by the absence of a requirement to remove certain Emergency Procedures in the existing Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) after accomplishing a certain modification. This AD requires, for airplanes on which a certain modification is done, revising the AFM by removing certain Emergency Procedures in the AFM, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. 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 2019-0312, dated December 20, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0312”).
(1) Where EASA AD 2019-0312 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2019-0312 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where paragraph (1) of EASA AD references EASA Emergency AD 2014-0267-E, for this AD use paragraph (g) of AD 2014-25-52, Amendment 39-18066 (80 FR 3161, January 22, 2015).
(4) Where Table 1 of EASA AD 2019-0312 specifies paragraph (10) of EASA AD 2015-0134 for Airbus SAS Model A330 and Airbus SAS Model A340 airplane configurations, for this AD, use paragraph (m)(2) of AD 2016-12-15, Amendment 39-18564 (81 FR 40160, June 21, 2016).
(5) Where Table 1 of EASA AD 2019-0312 specifies paragraph (1) and Table 2 of EASA AD 2017-0246R1 for Airbus SAS Model A330 airplane configurations, for this AD, use paragraph (h) and Figure 1 to paragraph (i) of AD 2018-21-07, Amendment 39-19465 (83 FR 51825, October 15, 2018).
(6) Where Table 1 of EASA AD 2019-0312 requires actions for Airbus A330 MRTT aircraft, these actions are not applicable to this AD.
Accomplishing the actions required by this AD on an airplane terminates all requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2014-25-52 for that airplane only.
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.
