Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes Federal Register ↗
Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-07-13 which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2023-07-13 required repetitive detailed inspections of the lower attachment studs on the AFT galley complex and, depending on findings, replacement of the lower attachment studs. This AD was prompted by a determination that additional airplanes are affected, and that all affected parts must be replaced with serviceable parts. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-07-13, adds airplanes to the applicability, and requires the replacement of all affected parts; as specified in 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.
