Applicability*9
This AD applies to the Airbus SAS Model airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (7) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (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 A330-941 airplanes. (5) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes. (6) Model A340-311, -312, and -313 airplanes. (7) Model A340-541 and -642 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 2019-0155, dated July 3, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0155”).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report that an escape slide deployment test found a girt bar that was not in a locked position and was detached from the airplane. This AD was also prompted by a determination that additional airplanes not identified in AD 2011-09-06 are affected by the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could result in slides detaching from the door after inflation, and could, during an emergency, prevent a safe evacuation of the cabin and possibly result in injuries.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2011-09-06, Amendment 39-16668 (76 FR 22005, April 20, 2011) (“AD 2011-09-06”).
