SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-03-12
SUMMARY: This amendment adopts a new airworthiness
directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A330, A340-200,
and A340-300 series airplanes. This AD requires initial and
repetitive inspections of certain frame stiffeners to detect
cracking. If any cracking is found, this AD requires replacement of
the stiffener with a new, reinforced stiffener. Replacement of the
stiffener constitutes terminating action for certain
inspections.
