Models named: A330-201, -202, -203, -223, -243, A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus SAS airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this AD, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0093, dated April 24, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0093). (1) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes. (2) Model A330-301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes. (3) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes. (4) 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, EASA AD 2020-0093.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of hydraulic system failure due to fatigue failure of the screws attaching the manual valve to the ground service manifold (GSM). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the failure of hydraulic system manual valve attachment screws. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to the loss of one or more hydraulic systems and damage to surrounding structure and components, possibly resulting in reduced control of the airplane, or injury to maintenance staff working in the main landing gear bay.

Affected ADs

None.
