Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes; Correction

What this AD requires

The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. As published, a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD number specified in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

ModelsA350-941, A350-1041, A350

Applies to airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before November 1, 2022.

Whether AD 2023-12-03 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2023-12-03 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.
