Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A330-243, -341, -342, and -343 series airplanes. This action requires modifying the rear engine mount by replacing the existing fail-safe link with a new, improved fail-safe link. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the fail-safe link of the rear engine mount, which, in combination with failure of the primary load path for the engine, could result in separation of the engine from the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
