Airworthiness Directive E7-3658
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330 and A340 Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A330 and A340 airplanes. This AD requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness by incorporating new and revised certification maintenance requirements (CMRs). This AD results from the manufacturer's determination that additional and revised CMRs are necessary in order to ensure continued operational safety of the affected airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent safety- significant latent failures that would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition.
Which aircraft AD E7-3658 applies to
Whether AD E7-3658 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.
