## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection to determine the torque value of all wing slat track stop pins, and correction of discrepancies. This amendment is prompted by a report of a fuel leak that was caused by an incorrectly torqued slat track stop pin that punctured the slat canister. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent such fuel leakage conditions, which could result in inadequate fuel for completing a flight and could pose a fire hazard.
