Is AD 2022-21-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2022-21-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 1600 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2022-21-01 apply to?

AD 2022-21-01 applies to Airbus Sas — models A330-243, A330-322, A330-343, A330. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-06- 07, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series and A330- 300 series airplanes. AD 2021-06-07 required repetitive detailed inspections of the courier area oxygen system (CAOS) and replacement of affected parts if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2021-06-07, improved flexible oxygen hoses have been developed. This AD continues to require repetitive detailed inspections of the CAOS and replacement of affected parts if necessary. This AD also requires replacing each affected part with an improved serviceable part, which is terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 1600 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Applies only to airplanes converted to freighter configuration in accordance with FAA Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) ST04038NY and STC ST04045NY.

Whether AD 2022-21-01 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:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
