MANUFACTURER: Airbus Model A330-200 and -300
Series Airplanes SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2011-17-08 ACTION: Final rule
SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing
airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to 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 an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
The airworthiness limitations
applicable to Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT
ALI) are currently given in Airbus A330 ALI Document reference
AI/SE-M4/95A.0089/97, which is approved by the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) and referenced in Airbus Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2.
The issue 17 of Airbus A330 ALI Document introduces more
restrictive maintenance requirements/airworthiness limitations.
Failure to comply with this issue constitutes an unsafe condition.
This [EASA] AD supersedes EASA AD 2009-0102 [and retains the
requirements therein], and requires the implementation of the new
or more restrictive maintenance requirements/airworthiness
limitations as specified in Airbus A330 ALI Document issue
17.
The unsafe condition is fatigue cracking, damage, and corrosion
in certain structure, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.
