✈️Proposed Airworthiness Directive by FAA for Airbus A350 Models

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that certain master minimum equipment list (MMEL) items do not comply with MMEL certification requirements. This proposed AD would require revising the operator's existing FAA- approved minimum equipment list (MEL), as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
