AD: Airbus Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-12-15

PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes, and all Airbus Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule; request for comments

SUMMARY:The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-07-30 for the aircraft listed above.

For certain airplanes, AD 2016-07-30 required replacing certain Angle of Attack (AOA) sensors (probes) with certain new AOA sensors.

For certain other airplanes, AD 2016-07-30 also required inspections and functional heat testing of certain AOA sensors for discrepancies, and replacement if necessary.

This new AD requires the same actions as AD 2016-07-30.

This new AD was prompted by a report of a typographical error in the regulatory text of AD 2016-07-30.

The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent erroneous AOA information and Alpha Protection (Alpha Prot) activation due to blocked AOA probes, which could result in a continuous nose-down command and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective July 6, 2016. Comments must be received by August 5, 2016.

FMI: AD
