AD 2020-22-09 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Models named: A330-301, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, -343. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A330-301, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes, certificated in any category, except airplanes on which Airbus Industrie Modification 46636 has been accomplished in production or which have been modified in service as specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3090.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (a) of AD 2001-16-13, with new service information. Prior to the accumulation of 15,000 total flight cycles: Perform a roto-test inspection to detect cracks of the fastener holes at frame 31, frame 37.1, and stringer 9, in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3090, Revision 02, dated January 9, 2001; or Airbus Service Bulletin A330-53-3090, Revision 03, dated December 11, 2002.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report that during fatigue testing on the fuselage, cracks were detected in the longitudinal buttstrap at stringer 9, at frame 31, and at frame 37.1. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking of the fuselage longitudinal buttstrap, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2001-16-13, Amendment 39-12382 (66 FR 44295, August 23, 2001) (“AD 2001-16-13”).
