AD 2017-01-08 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
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 Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342 and -343 airplanes; and Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, -313, -541, and -642 airplanes; certificated in any category, fitted with a hydraulic reservoir (HR) pressure relief valve (PRV) part number (P/N) 42F0026 installed on TECHSPACE HR having P/N 42F1005, 42F1203, 42F1304, 42F1412, 42F1512, or 42F1607.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within the compliance time defined in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, as applicable, inspect the HR fluid level and nitrogen pressure of each hydraulic circuit, in accordance with the instructions of paragraph 4.2.2.1 of Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A29L005-16, Revision 01, dated June 28, 2016. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 1,600 flight hours. Table 1 to Paragraph ( g ) of This AD—Initial Inspection Compliance Time Compliance Time (A or B, whichever occurs later) A Before accumulating 1,600 flight hours since first flight of the airplane. B Within 1,000 flight hours or 3 months, whichever occurs first after the effective date of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of certain hydraulic reservoirs (HRs) becoming depressurized due to air leakage from the HR PRV. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct air leakage from the HR PRV, which could lead to the loss of one or more hydraulic systems, with the possible result of loss of control of the airplane.
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.
