Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

Built by the Tribune's code from the Federal Register. No AI wrote this page. Published in the Federal Register Sept. 9, 2026. Document 2026-18372. Updated Nov. 6, 2026.

What it does

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-07-02, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. AD 2023-07-02 requires replacing the doghouse door lock placard with an improved instruction placard. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-07-02, it was determined that additional parts need to be modified. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-07-02 and would expand the list of affected parts. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
