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

Applicability*9

This AD applies Airbus SAS Model A350-941 airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0071, dated March 25, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0071”).

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 2020-0071.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of improperly locked diagonal struts located in a certain section of the fuselage; the teeth of the lock washers were incorrectly engaged, which could lead to a loss of tightening torque of an affected strut. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could affect the structural integrity of the surrounding parts, possibly resulting in failure of the horizontal tail plane attachments or rear cone joints, and consequent reduction or loss of control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
