AD: Airbus

AD: Airbus
AD NUMBER: 2005-19-21
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-19-21
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-202, -223,-243, and -343 airplanes; and certain Model A340-313 airplanes. This AD requires a one-time inspection for discrepancies of the attachment bolts of the windshield central retainer, and corrective actions if necessary.

This AD results from a report indicating that, during production,the windshield central retainer may have been installed with attachment bolts that were too short, which prevented the thread of the bolt from fully engaging in the self-locking nut. We are issuing this AD to prevent loosened attachment bolts, which could result in loss of the windshield and consequent reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
