AD: Airbus SAS Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2018-17-18

PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-02-17, which applied to the aircraft listed above.

AD 2015-02-17 required revising the electrical emergency configuration procedure in the Emergency Procedures section of the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include procedures for deploying the ram air turbine manually to provide sufficient hydraulic power and avoid constant speed motor/generator (CSM/G) shedding.

Since AD 2015-02-17 was issued, the FAA has determined that replacement or modification of the two flight warning computers (FWCs) is necessary to address the identified unsafe condition. This AD requires the replacement or modifications of the two FWCs.

This AD also removes airplanes from the applicability.

DATES: This AD is effective October 5, 2018.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 105 airplanes of U.S. registry. The cost of compliance is estimated as follows:

  • 4 work-hour × $85 per hour = $340 per aircraft.
FMI: AD
