Applicability*9

This AD applies to the Airbus SAS airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD, certificated in any category, with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before January 18, 2019. (1) Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes. (2) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes. (3) Model A330-301, -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 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2, Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Revision 03, dated October 15, 2018 (“Airbus A330 ALS Part 2, DT-ALI, Revision 03”), as supplemented by Airbus A330 ALS Part 2, DT-ALI, Variation 3.1, dated January 18, 2019. The initial compliance time for doing the tasks is at the time specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 2, DT-ALI, Revision 03, including Airbus A330 ALS Part 2, DT-ALI, Variation 3.1, dated January 18, 2019; or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD; whichever occurs later. This AD does not require Section 4, “Damage Tolerant-Airworthiness Limitations Items-Tasks Beyond MPPT,” of Airbus A330 ALS Part 2, DT-ALI, Revision 03.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and corrosion in principal structural elements; such fatigue cracking, accidental damage, and corrosion could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD affects AD 2017-19-13, Amendment 39-19043 (82 FR 43837, September 20, 2017) (“AD 2017-19-13”); and AD 2018-24-04, Amendment 39-19508 (83 FR 60756, November 27, 2018) (“AD 2018-24-04”).
