Models named: A330-223, -243, -301, -302, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -343. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A330-223, -243, -301, -302, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes; and Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 airplanes; certificated in any category; as identified in European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2018-0226, dated October 22, 2018 (“EASA AD 2018-0226”).

Compliance

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

Required actions

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2018-0226.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of cracking in the top skin of the horizontal stabilizer (HS) center box (CB) of an airplane in pre-modification 41330 configuration. This AD was also prompted by report of additional cracking found on different airplanes, and of an update to the fatigue and damage tolerance analysis. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracking in the horizontal stabilizer center box, which could lead to reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2018-02-11, Amendment 39-19164 (83 FR 2894, January 22, 2018) (“AD 2018-02-11”).
