Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-21940 · Fuselage
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2021-0141, dated June 15, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0141).
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-26- 01, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2019-26-01 required repetitive detailed inspections, and applicable corrective actions, and provided an optional modification that terminated the inspections. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-26-01, a determination was made that a related production modification was not properly installed on certain airplanes. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2019-26-01, and, for certain airplanes, adds a one- time detailed inspection of the modification for proper installation, and applicable corrective actions if necessary, 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 2021-0141.
(1) Where EASA AD 2021-0141 refers to February 21, 2018 (the effective date of EASA AD 2018-0037), this AD requires using February 28, 2020 (the effective date of FAA AD 2019-26-01).
(2) Where EASA AD 2021-0141 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2021-0141 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.
