AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2008-13-13
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-13-13
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330 airplanes and Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes.

This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit the flight crew from performing CAT 2 and CAT 3 automatic landings and rollouts at certain airports. This AD also provides an optional terminating action for the AFM revision.

This AD results from data showing that the magnetic variation table installed in certain Honeywell and Northrop Grumman air data inertial reference units (ADIRUs) is obsolete at certain airports.

We are issuing this AD to prevent the airplane from departing the runway during a CAT 2 or CAT 3 automatic landing or roll-out, due to differences between actual magnetic variation and the values in the ADIRU magnetic variation tables.
