Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (8) of this AD. (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 A330-841 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.

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 2021-0136, dated June 4, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0136).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports that the instructions on the doghouse door lock placard are unclear and incomplete. The FAA is issuing this AD to address possible incorrect operation of the doghouse door lock due to unclear and incomplete handling instructions on the door placard installed near the lock. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to failure of the latch, which could block the door in the closed position and prevent access to the emergency equipment inside the doghouse.

Affected ADs

None.
