Models named: A330-243, A330-243F, A330-341, A330-342, A330-343. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Model A330-243, A330-243F, A330-341, A330-342, and A330-343 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 12 months after the effective date of this AD: Identify the part number of the TRUs, in accordance with the information in Aircelle Service Bulletin 78-AG924, dated September 26, 2012.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports indicating that certain hinge sleeves on the cowl doors of the thrust reverser units (TRUs) were not heat treated. We are issuing this AD to prevent, in the event of a fan-blade-off event due to high vibration, in-flight loss of TRU heavy components, which might damage airplane structure or control surfaces and consequently reduce controllability of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
