Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes Federal Register ↗

Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-12-03 and AD 2023-04-05, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2023-12-03 and AD 2023-04-05 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require all actions in AD 2023-12-03 and certain actions in AD 2023-04-05, and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations; 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.
