Models named: A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, -313, -541, -642. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, -313, -541, and -642 airplanes, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, revise the maintenance program or inspection program, as applicable, by incorporating Airbus A340 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, Revision 03, dated November 15, 2012. The initial compliance times for the actions are within the applicable compliance time specified in the Record of Revisions page of Airbus A340 ALS Part 4—Ageing Systems Maintenance, Revision 03, dated November 15, 2012, or within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever is later, except as required by paragraph (h) of this AD.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a determination that existing maintenance requirements are not adequate to address the aging effects of aircraft systems. We are issuing this AD to address the aging effects of aircraft systems. Such aging effects could change the characteristics of systems life-limited components leading to an increased potential for failure, which, in isolation or in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could result in failure of certain life limited parts, which could reduce the structural integrity or the controllability of the airplane.

Affected ADs

(1) This AD replaces AD 2013-20-06, Amendment 39-17612 (78 FR 64156, October 28, 2013). (2) This AD affects the requirements of the ADs specified in paragraphs (j)(1) through (j)(9) of this AD.
