Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
type: Action
additional type: https://schema.org/LegalForceStatus
description: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports that cracks were found on an adjacent hole of certain frames of the center wing box (CWB). This AD requires removing fasteners, doing a rototest inspection of fastener holes, installing new fasteners, oversizing the holes and doing rototest inspections for cracks if necessary, and repairing any cracking that is found. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking on certain holes of certain frames of the CWB that could affect the structural integrity of the airplane.
