AD 2023-23-03 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Models named: A330-223F, -243F. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-223F and -243F 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 2023-0053, dated March 14, 2023 (EASA AD 2023-0053).
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a widespread fatigue damage (WFD) evaluation on Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, which found that the circumferential joint at Frame 58 (near the rear fuselage) is susceptible to WFD. The FAA is issuing this AD to address WFD in the affected area. The unsafe condition, if not corrected, may lead to crack initiation and undetected propagation, which could affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
