AD NUMBER: 2007-25-05
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-25-05 SUMMARY: We are adopting a
new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above.
This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority ofanother country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product.
The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: SUMMARY: We are
adopting a new airworthiness directive(AD) for the products listed
above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct anunsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: It has been
discovered that a batch of sleeves and pins of the Rolls-Royce
Trent 700 Thrust Reverser Unit(TRU) hinge n° [number] 5 has not
been subjected to the correct precipitation hardening. This
production quality issue, if not corrected, can lead to the
complete failure of the hinge n° 5-theremaining hinges may not
sustain ultimate load-resulting in the worst case to the TRU
release from the pylon, which constitutes an unsafe condition. The
degradation of the mechanical specifications of these parts puts
into question the current design life goal of these parts. * * *
The unsafe condition is possible detachment of the thrust reverser
unit from the airplane, which could result in reduced
controllability and possible damage to the airplane. This AD
requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition
described in the MCAI.
