Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10402 · Airbus Model A330 and A340 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A330 and A340 Series Airplanes
Model A330 and A340 series airplanes, on which Airbus Modification 42409 has not been accomplished, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This action requires modification to reinforce the joints of certain fuselage frames. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking of the fuselage frames, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
