Airworthiness Directive 95-27307
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330 and A340 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This action requires inspections to detect cracking, corrosion, and free play in the spherical washers located in certain assemblies where the aft flap track attaches to the wing trailing edge, and replacement of the washers, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that these washers can break under load. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent breakage of these washers, which could result in structural damage to the attachment assembly and eventually lead to separation of the flap from the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 95-27307 applies to
Whether AD 95-27307 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:
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.
