Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-21- 07, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-21-07 required replacement of affected passenger oxygen masks (which includes re-identifying the parts). This AD was prompted by a determination that additional parts are subject to the unsafe condition. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-21-07, and also requires replacing additional affected parts; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD also prohibits installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Whether AD 2023-05-07 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.
Is AD 2023-05-07 complied with on your aircraft?

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.
