Models named: A330-841, -941. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-841 and -941 airplanes, certificated in any category.

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 2021-0035, dated January 25, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0035).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of missing or disbonded pressure seals on two thrust reverser (TR) translating cowls. The FAA is issuing this AD to address missing or disbonded TR translating cowl seal segments. In a case where all seal segments were missing, this condition, if not addressed, could lead to loss of thrust at maximum continuous thrust or at takeoff/go-around, possibly resulting in substantially reduced performance of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
