Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-25- 09, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, A321, A330- 200, A330-200 Freighter, A330-300, A330-800, A330-900, A340-200, A340- 300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2023-25-09 required replacing SafeLav gaseous oxygen containers (SLGOCs) affected by a production deficiency and prohibiting the installation of affected SLGOCs. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-09, a new airplane model has been certified, on which affected parts could be installed in service. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-25-09 and adds airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Whether AD 2025-18-03 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 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 2025-18-03 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.
