AD 2021-11-11 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Models named: A330-223F, -243F. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0234, dated October 27, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0234).
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 2020-0234.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report indicating occurrences of broken brackets of the support structure of the halon fire extinguishing bottle 4005WX; investigation showed that fatigue cracks initiated in the attachment brackets at the cross beams due to dynamic loading, and in some cases propagated in the struts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking on the attachment brackets, which could lead to damage of the tubing and electrical wiring of the lower deck cargo compartment (LDCC) fire extinguishing system, and possibly result in insufficient fire suppression capability in the LDCC.
Affected ADs
None.
