Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21280 · Oxygen
Airbus SAS Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2023-05-07. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that sticking effects have been observed affecting the breathing bag on certain passenger oxygen masks. This AD requires replacement of affected passenger oxygen masks, 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, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0031, dated February 18, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0031”).
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0031 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0031 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where EASA AD 2020-0031 specifies to do the replacement specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A350-35-P013, Revision 00, dated July 2, 2019, which specifies to inspect for the part number and serial number and then do a replacement; this AD only requires the replacement.
(4) Where paragraphs 3.B. and 3.C. of the Accomplishment Instructions of B/E Aerospace Systems Service Bulletin E75000-35-001, Revision 00, dated November 25, 2016, state to do an inspection for the date of manufacture of the affected part, this AD does not require that inspection.
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.
