Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this AD. (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. (4) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes. (5) Model A340-311, -312, and -313 airplanes.

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, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0138, dated June 12, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0138”).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that elevator skin panels were found disbonded as a result of water ingress. The FAA is issuing this AD to address disbonding of the elevator skin panels. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could affect the structural integrity of the elevators, possibly resulting in reduced control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD affects AD 2011-03-10, Amendment 39-16594 (76 FR 6543, February 7, 2011) (“AD 2011-03-10”).
