Models named: A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, all manufacturer serial numbers; except those on which a gaseous system for all oxygen generators is installed. (1) Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes.

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 each passenger chemical oxygen generator to identify the date of manufacture (refer to figures 1 and 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD for the location of the date) of each passenger chemical oxygen generator having any part number (P/N) listed in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(6) of this AD, in accordance with the Instructions of Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A35L007-14, Revision 01, June 17, 2015, including Appendix A, Revision 01, dated June 17, 2015. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this inspection if the date of manufacture of the generator can be conclusively determined from that review. (1) 117042-02 (15 minutes (min)—2 masks). (2) 117042-03 (15 min—3 masks). (3) 117042-04 (15 min—4 masks). (4) 117042-22 (22 min—2 masks). (5) 117042-23 (22 min—3 masks). (6) 117042-24 (22 min—4 masks). ER09MR16.000 ER09MR16.001
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of premature aging of certain chemical oxygen generators in the passenger compartment that resulted in failure of the generators to activate. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the chemical oxygen generator to activate during an emergency situation, which could result in unavailability of oxygen and possible incapacitation of the 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.
