The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series airplanes, Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, Model A330-300 series airplanes, Model A330-900 series airplanes, Model A340-200 series airplanes, Model A340-300 series airplanes, Model A340-500 series airplanes, Model A340-600 series airplanes, Model A380-800 series airplanes; and Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. As published, multiple references to a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD number are incorrect throughout the AD. This document corrects those errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
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 2020-0100R1, dated November 4, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0100R1).
(1) Where EASA AD 2020-0100R1 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) Where EASA AD 2020-0100R1 refers to “19 May 2020 [the effective date of EASA AD 2020-0100 at original issue],” this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) Where task Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) A330-A-25-XX-3743-02001-690A-C specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-25-3743, dated September 23, 2019, states the measured dimension shall be equal to or more than “30 mm (1.81 in),” this AD requires using the measured dimension of “30 mm (1.18 in).”
(4) Where AMM task A330-A-25-XX-3743-01001-520A-A of Airbus Service Bulletin A330-25-3743, dated September 23, 2019, states, “For the FWD cargo-compartment, refer to Ref. AMM Task 25-54-00-000-801,” this AD requires using, “For the FWD cargo-compartment, refer to Ref. AMM Task 25-52-00-000-801.”
(5) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2020-0100R1 does not apply to this AD.
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.
