one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200 Series Airplanes and Model A340-200 and -300 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Which aircraft AD 2010-04-09 applies to
Applies to airplanes on which Airbus Modification 49520 has been embodied in production, or on which Airbus Service Bulletin A330-21-3096 Revision 01, or Airbus Service Bulletin A340-21-4107 Revision 01, has been embodied in service; except those on which Airbus Modification 58551 has been embodied in production. All manufacturer serial numbers for the A340 group. Source applicability text for the A330 model list was truncated after '-223,' in the source document; additional A330 series may be covered but are not confirmed in the extracted text.
Whether AD 2010-04-09 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
