Airworthiness Directive 2010-08-05
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200, A330-300, and A340-300 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 2010-08-05 applies to
Applies to all manufacturer serial numbers modified in production by BOTH Airbus Modification 40379 AND one additional modification as applicable: for A330 models, Modification 49894, 51304, 52048, 52712, 53559, 53732, 54115, 55632, or 55722; for A340-311/-312/-313, Modification 51603, 53400, or 55024. Excludes airplanes on which Airbus Modification 57744 has been embodied in production.
Whether AD 2010-08-05 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.
