- What it does
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-26-06, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-201, -202, - 203, -223, -223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, - 341, -342, -343, and -941 airplanes; and all Airbus SAS Model A340-211, -212, -213, -311, -312, and -313 airplanes. AD 2024-26-06 requires modifying the trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA) installation, implementing the electrical load sensing device (ELSD) wiring provisions, and installing and activating the ELSD with revised procedures and also requires additional actions for certain airplanes. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-26-06, it has been determined that additional actions are required on certain airplanes after completion of the modification. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2024-26-06 and would require additional work for certain airplanes. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
