Models named: A350-941, -1041. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0265, dated October 25, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0265”).

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 2019-0265.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of incorrectly engaged lock washer tabs of the main landing gear (MLG) forward pintle bearing (FPB) at the forward face of the trunnion block. The FAA is issuing this AD to address absence of an engaged lock washer tab at the bearing nut, which could cause an unexpected rotation of the nut and loss of torque, progressively allowing an axial movement of the bearing housing. This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to collapse of a MLG, possibly resulting in damage to the airplane and/or injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

None.
