(1) Before the accumulation of the flight hours or landings, whichever occurs first, specified in table 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, as applicable to airplane type, model, and weight variant (WV). Table 1 to Paragraph (g)(1) of This AD—MLG Bogie Beam Life Limit Affected airplanes— Life limit from first installation of MLG bogie beam on an airplane— Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -243, weight variant (WV)02x, WV05x (except WV058), and WV06x series 50,000 landings or 72,300 total flight hours. Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -243 WV058 50,000 landings or 57,900 total flight hours. Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -343 WV00x, WV01x, WV02x, and WV05x series 46,000 landings or 75,000 total flight hours. (2) Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of a prematurely fractured main landing gear (MLG) bogie beam. We are issuing this AD to prevent fracture of the MLG bogie beam, which, under high speed, could ultimately result in the airplane departing the runway, the bogie beam detaching from the airplane, or collapse of the MLG; and consequent structural damage to the airplane and injury to the occupants.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
