Applicability*9
This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, and -243F airplanes. (2) Airbus Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. (3) Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 airplanes.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
For the purpose of this AD, a Societé Anonyme de Recherche Mécanique Appliquée (SARMA) strut is a strut on which the diameter of the strut end is less than 43 millimeters. All other struts are Technical Airborne Components Industries (TAC) struts.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracked support strut body ends at a certain frame location of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS). We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracked support strut body ends of the THS, which could lead to the loss of all four THS support struts and which would make the remaining structure unable to carry limit loads, resulting in the loss of the horizontal tail plane.
Affected ADs
None.
