Models named: A330-201, -202, -203, -301, -302, -303. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -301, -302, and -303 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 1,000 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, do a one-time ultrasonic inspection for fractures of all aft mount-pylon bolts of each engine, in accordance with Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A71L002-13, dated April 8, 2013. If any fracture is detected, repair before further flight using a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of one bolt on the aft engine mount upper beam found totally broken. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fracture of the aft mount-pylon bolts, which could result in failure of the engine mount and consequent detachment of the engine.
Affected ADs
None.
