Abstract

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 reports of slat transmission jams caused by frozen slat geared rotary actuators (SGRA) at slat 5 track 12. This proposed AD would require repetitive water drainage and plug cleaning of the left- and right-hand SGRA having a certain part number installed on slat 5 track 12 with certain functional item numbers, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
