Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Cabin Attendant Seats

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register May 29, 2026. Document 2026-10806. Updated Nov. 10, 2026.

What it does

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Goodrich cabin attendant seats installed on Airbus SAS Model A330-200 series, A330-200 Freighter series, A330-300 series, A330-743L, A330- 841, A330-941, A340-200 series, A340-300 series, A340-541, A340-542, A340-641, and A340-642 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that track attachments used on certain part-numbered seats are non- compliant. This AD requires replacing all seat track attachments and hardware and re-identifying the seat with a new part number. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
