Models named: A330-223F, A330-243F. 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. (1) Airbus SAS Model A330-223F airplanes. (2) Airbus SAS Model A330-243F airplanes.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Accomplish the actions required by paragraph (h) of this AD before exceeding the compliance time “threshold” defined in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3215, Revision 03, dated January 22, 2018 (“A330-53-3215, R3”), depending on airplane utilization and configuration and to be counted from airplane first flight, and, thereafter, at intervals not to exceed the compliance times defined in paragraph 1.E., “Compliance,” of A330-53-3215, R3, depending on airplane utilization and configuration.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of cracking on both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) sides on the internal strap, butt strap, keel beam fitting, or forward fitting frame (FR) 40 flange. We are issuing this AD to address cracking at FR40 on the lower shell panel junction; such cracking could lead to reduced structural integrity of the fuselage.

Affected ADs

None.
