Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2006-10- 13, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A330-223, -321, -322, and - 323 airplanes. AD 2006-10-13 required repetitive inspections of the firewall of the lower aft pylon fairing (LAPF), and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2006-10-13 also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This AD was prompted by the design of an updated LAPF, the installation of which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspection required by AD 2006- 10-13. This AD continues to require the actions specified in AD 2006- 10-13, provides new optional terminating actions, and changes the applicability to exclude certain airplanes; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

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

Applies to airplanes identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022-0190, dated September 14, 2022.

Whether AD 2023-12-01 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.
Is AD 2023-12-01 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.
