Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-21- 06, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-21-06 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-21- 06, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2020- 21-06 and requires revising the applicability by adding airplanes. This AD also requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
