Applicability*9
This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes, certificated in any category, as specified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD. (1) This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(vii) of this AD. (i) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes. (ii) Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes. (iii) Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. (iv) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes. (v) Model A340-311, -312, and -313 airplanes. (vi) Model A340-541 airplanes. (vii) Model A340-642 airplanes. (2) This AD does not apply to airplanes on which the installations of all escape slides and slide rafts have passed an inspection as specified in any task/item identified in paragraphs (c)(2)(i) through (c)(2)(v) of this AD. (i) Task 25-62-41-01-1 Cabin Escape Facilities, of the applicable Airbus Maintenance Planning Document. (ii) Task 25-62-41-02-1 Cabin Escape Facilities, of the applicable Airbus Maintenance Planning Document. (iii) Task 25-62-41-03-1 Cabin Escape Facilities, of the applicable Airbus Maintenance Planning Document. (iv) Task 25-62-41-04-1 Cabin Escape Facilities, of the applicable Airbus Maintenance Planning Document. (v) Maintenance Schedule Item 25.62.00 section 01, 02, or 03, of the Cabin Escape Facilities, of the applicable Airbus Maintenance Review Board Report.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, inspect to identify the slide raft and escape slide part numbers installed on the airplane. A review of the airplane delivery or maintenance records may be used in lieu of the inspection if the slide raft and escape slide part numbers can be conclusively defined through such review.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of incorrect installation of the girt panel on passenger doors and an incorrectly installed quick release (girt) bar into the girt panel of the slide raft. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct incorrect girt installation of the escape slide and slide raft, which could prevent slide deployment during an emergency, and result in reduced evacuation capacity from the airplane and possible injury to 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.
