Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-22265 · Wings
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and A350-1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022-0015, dated January 26, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0015).
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and A350-1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that Heavy Expanded Copper Foil (HECF) patches may not have been installed at all required locations of the upper and lower wing covers. This AD requires a one-time detailed inspection of the affected areas and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, 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 2022-0015.
(1) Where EASA AD 2022-0015 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) This AD does not adopt the “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2022-0015.
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2022-0015 specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD does not include that requirement.
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.
