Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21291 · Oxygen
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0092, dated April 24, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0092”).
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-14- 09, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes. AD 2019-14-09 required repetitive detailed inspections, including functional testing, of the oxygen crew and courier distribution system (OCCDS) and replacement of affected part(s) if necessary. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2019-14-09 and requires replacement of all affected parts with improved serviceable parts, which is terminating action for the repetitive inspections, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which will be 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 2020-0092.
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0092 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where EASA AD 2020-0092 refers to February 18, 2019 (the effective date of EASA AD 2019-0027, dated February 4, 2019), this AD requires using September 9, 2019 (the effective date of AD 2019-14-09).
(3) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0092 does not apply to this AD.
