✈️Proposed FAA Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Models
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Summary
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-25-09, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, A321, A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, A330-300, A330-800, A330-900, A340- 200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2023-25-09 requires replacing SafeLav gaseous oxygen containers (SLGOCs) affected by a production deficiency and prohibiting the installation of affected SLGOCs. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-25-09, a new airplane model has been certified, on which affected parts could be installed in service. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-25-09 and would add airplanes to the applicability. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
