Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a widespread fatigue damage (WFD) evaluation on Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes, which found that the circumferential joint at Frame 58 (near the rear fuselage) is susceptible to WFD. This proposed AD would require a modification to reinforce the circumferential joints at Frame 58 and, if necessary, corrective action, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership (Type Certificate Previously Held by C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership (CSALP); Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Canada Limited Partnership Model BD-500-1A11 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a manufacturing issue with an electrical connector that may prevent the connector from self- locking. This proposed AD would require removing the affected connector, installing a new connector, and testing the emergency power supply units (EPSUs), as specified in a Transport Canada AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-18- 11, which applied to all The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. AD 2022-18-11 required repetitive inspections for cracking of the left- and right-side ring chords, repair angles, front spar lower chords, and front spar webs (depending on configuration) common to a certain underwing longeron; modification of the front spar lower chord for some airplanes; repetitive post-modification inspections; and applicable on- condition actions. This AD was prompted by a report of a crack found in a front spar lower chord, and the determination that errors in the service information mandated by AD 2022-18-11 introduced a new unsafe condition related to the application of certain fastener cap seals. This AD retains the actions required by AD 2022-18-11, and requires a maintenance records review of previously modified airplanes for the procedures used during that modification, and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
