Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by the identification of an incorrect shot peening application implemented in production. This AD requires repetitive special detailed inspections (SDIs) of affected central windshield frames and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
