Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-301, -321, -322, -341, and -342 Series Airplanes; and Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection for cracks on the attachment holes of the doorstop fitting on the aft passenger/crew doors; repair, if necessary; and modification of the attachment holes. This action is necessary to detect and prevent fatigue cracking of the attachment holes for doorstop fitting number 5, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the door frames. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
