AD 2022-25-21 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Models named: A350-1041. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A350-1041 airplanes, certificated in any category, having serial numbers identified in Airbus Service Bulletin A350-53-P073, dated June 9, 2022.
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 2022-0183, dated August 30, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0183).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of a loud noise and vibration in the belly fairing (BF) access panel above the wings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address missing fasteners on the BF access panels due to the use of shorter fasteners and inappropriate self-locking nuts resulting in not enough threads of the collar engaged to ensure the locking capability. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an in-flight detachment of an affected BF access panel, possibly resulting in damage to, and reduced control of, the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
