## Abstract

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive inspections to check the play of the eye-end of the piston rod of the elevator servo- controls, and follow-on corrective actions if necessary. This amendment requires the replacement of certain elevator servo-controls with new, improved servo-controls. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct excessive play of the eye-end of the piston rod of the elevator servo-controls, which could result in failure of the elevator servo-control. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
