Applicability*9

This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) of this AD, certificated in any category, from manufacturer serial number (MSN) 0715 through MSN 1507 inclusive, and MSN 1509, except airplanes on which all engines have been removed and/or replaced since the date of the first flight of the airplane.

(3) Airbus Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. (4) Airbus Model A340-541 airplanes. (5) Airbus Model A340-642 airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

For the purpose of this AD, an affected engine is an engine that has never been removed and/or replaced since first flight of the airplane.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of an under-torqued forward engine mount bolt. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct improperly torqued engine mount bolts, which could lead to detachment of the engine from the airplane during flight, and consequent damage to the airplane and injury to persons on the ground.

Affected ADs

None.
