Models named: A330-202, -203, -223, -243, A330-223F, -243F, A330-301, -302, -303, -321. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (5) of this AD, certificated in any category. (1) Model A330-202, -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. (4) Model A340-211, -212, and -213 airplanes. (5) Model A340-311, -312, and -313 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 2022-0175, dated August 23, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0175).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report that damage was found to the firewall and fuselage skin in the auxiliary power unit (APU) compartment area on Model A330 airplanes. Subsequent investigation determined that cracks started because of high cycle fatigue in the tee duct, which led to a hot air leak. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks in the tee duct. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to a hot air leak from the tee duct and damage to the APU compartment firewall, possibly jeopardizing its capability to contain a fire.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
