Models named: A330, A340 series. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
Model A330 and A340 series airplanes, certificated in any category; equipped with any spoiler servo control having part number (P/N)1386A0000-01 or 1386B0000-01, or P/N 1387A0000-01 or 1387B0000-01.
Compliance
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To ensure the flightcrew is advised of the proper procedures in the event of uncommanded movement of a spoiler during flight, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane and consequent significant increased fuel consumption during flight, and could result in an in-flight turn-back or diversion to an unscheduled airport destination, accomplish the following: Revision to Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) (a) Within 10 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of the FAA-approved AFM by including the procedures listed in Figure 1 of this AD. This revision may be done by inserting a copy of the following Figure 1 into the AFM: BILLING CODE 4910-13-P ER16AU02.020 BILLING CODE 4910-13-C Note 1: When the statement in paragraph (a) of this AD has been incorporated into the FAA-approved general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be incorporated into the AFM, provided the statement in this AD and the general revisions is identical. This AD may then be removed from the AFM. Alternative Methods of Compliance (b) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager International Branch, ANM-116, FAA. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116. Note 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the International Branch, ANM-116. Special Flight Permits (c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with §§ 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. Note 3: The subject of this AD is addressed in French airworthiness directives 2001-608(B) and 2001-609(B), both dated December 12, 2001. Effective Date (d) This amendment becomes effective on September 20, 2002. Issued in Renton, Washington, on August 7, 2002.
