AD: Airbus Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2016-01-03

PRODUCT: Certain Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340-200, and A340-300 series airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports that the inner bore of some main landing gear (MLG) unit bogie beams were insufficiently re-protected against corrosion after inspection or maintenance actions were accomplished.

This AD requires for certain MLG units, determining which revision of the component maintenance manual (CMM) was used to accomplish the most recent MLG unit overhaul; a detailed inspection for missing or damaged paint, and if necessary, a detailed inspection of the cadmium plating for discrepancies, measurement of the depth of the cadmium plating, a general visual inspection of the base metal for corrosion or damage, a detailed inspection of repaired areas for cracking or corrosion; and corrective actions if necessary.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion in the bore of each MLG unit bogie beam, which could result in collapse of a MLG unit, and subsequent damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 17, 2016.
