What it does

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of fractured lower attachment studs on certain galleys. This proposed AD would require a detailed inspection of all affected lower attachment studs on affected galleys installed forward of door 4 and applicable corrective actions, replacement of all affected lower attachment studs on all affected galleys, and reidentification of affected galleys. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
