Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-08- 05, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Model A330-841 and A330- 941 airplanes. AD 2024-08-05 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-08- 05, the FAA has determined that additional new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2024-08-05 until the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, is revised to incorporate the new and more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
