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

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in paragraphs (c)(1) though (3) of this AD. (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.

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 2021-0281, dated December 17, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0281).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report that during a certification exercise, it was identified that there was a risk of an engine bleed system over-temperature, without the engine bleed valve closing; the associated engine bleed valve should automatically close. This AD was also prompted by the development of new maintenance actions and software related to over-temperature failure conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possibility of a jammed engine bleed valve, which could lead to damage of the bleed manifold and the ducts downstream of the engine bleed system, exposure of the surrounding structure to heat stress, and possible reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2020-22-03, Amendment 39-21299 (85 FR 66873, October 21, 2020) (AD 2020-22-03).
