Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Document Number: 2020-26684
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2020-12-04
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and A350-1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports that suitable corrosion protection treatment had not been applied to certain areas of the seat track. This proposed AD would require a one-time detailed inspection of the seat tracks between certain frames for suitable corrosion protection or presence of corrosion, and on-condition actions if necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
