PRODUCT: Certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes.

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by a report that revealed the wheel axles of the main landing gear (MLG) were machined with a certain radius and a determination that the life limit for the affected wheel axles of the MLG must be reduced.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 29 airplanes of U.S. registry. Operators may incur the following costs in order to comply with this AD:

Inspection

  • Labor: 2 work-hours × $85 per hour = $170 per airplane.

On Condition Costs:

  • Labor: 16 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,360 per airplane.
  • Parts: $40,000 (per part).
  • Cost per airplane: $41,360 (per part).
