Open for Comment: Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

Transportation Department — The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330-841 and Model A330-941 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of crack findings on the sloping rib. This proposed AD would require a repetitive inspection of the external surface of each sloping rib and each slat 1 inboard seal, and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. (47 days remaining)
