AD: Airbus Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2014-16-04

PRODUCT: Certain Airbus Model A330-200 and A340-300 series airplanes.
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-14-17 for the products listed above.  AD 2008-14-17 required a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection, corrective actions if necessary, and modifications. This new AD requires the same actions as those required by AD 2008-14-17, but with a reduced compliance time.

This AD was prompted by a determination from a fatigue and damage tolerance evaluation that the compliance time needs to be revised.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct damage of the upper shell structure at the skin and frame interface, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airframe.

DATES: This AD becomes effective September 19, 2014.

FMI: AD
