Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (10) of this AD, certificated in any category. (1) Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223, and -243 airplanes. (2) Model A330-223F and -243F 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 airplanes. (8) Model A340-642 airplanes. (9) Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. (10) Model A380-841, -842, and -861 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 2020-0100R1, dated November 4, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0100R1).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of a quality issue with a certain repair method of damage-through honeycomb core cargo linings by speed patches applied to both sides. The FAA is issuing this AD to address reduced ability of repaired linings to contain smoke or fire, resulting in an increased risk of an uncontained fire in the cargo compartment and consequent structural damage to the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
