Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330 and A340 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection to verify the proper configuration of the drive assemblies for the low-pressure and, for certain airplanes, the cross-feed fuel valves; and corrective action, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the low- pressure and/or cross-feed fuel valves, which could result in the inability to shut off the fuel supply to the engine and exacerbate an engine fire, or the inability to cross-feed fuel when required. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
