Abstract

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2024-19-03, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2024-19-03 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2024-19-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require certain actions in AD 2024-19-03 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 
2024-19-03, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -
1041 airplanes. AD 2024-19-03 requires revising the existing 
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or 
more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 
2024-19-03, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive 
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would 
continue to require certain actions in AD 2024-19-03 and would require 
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, 
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The 
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these 
products.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2024-19-03, Amendment 39-22845 (89 FR 82493, 
October 11, 2024) (AD 2024-19-03), for Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -
1041 airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original 
export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before November 30, 
2023. AD 2024-19-03 was prompted by an MCAI originated by EASA, which 
is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. 
EASA issued EASA AD 2024-0005, dated January 5, 2024 (EASA 2024-0005), 
to correct an unsafe condition.
    AD 2024-19-03 requires revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more 
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2024-19-03 to 
address reduced structural integrity of the airplane. The unsafe 
condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of structural 
integrity of the airplane.

[[Page 70032]]

Actions Since AD 2024-19-03 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2024-19-03, EASA superseded EASA AD 2024-
0005 with EASA AD 2025-0204, dated September 19, 2025 (EASA AD 2025-
0204), for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. EASA AD 
2025-0204 states that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations 
have been developed, as specified in Airbus A350 Airworthiness 
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2, Damage Tolerant Airworthiness 
Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Revision 11, dated July 2, 2025.
    EASA also issued EASA AD 2026-0034, dated February 23, 2026 (EASA 
AD 2026-0034), for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. 
EASA AD 2026-0034 states that new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations have been developed, as specified in Airbus A350 ALS Part 
2, Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT-ALI), Variation 
11.1, dated December 1, 2025.
    EASA AD 2026-0034 also specifies that it requires tasks 
(limitations) already required by EASA AD 2025-0204, and that 
incorporation of EASA AD 2026-0034 invalidates (terminates) prior 
instructions for those. Therefore, for this AD where EASA AD 2026-0034 
affects the same airworthiness limitations as those in EASA AD 2025-
0204, the airworthiness limitations referenced in EASA AD 2026-0034 
prevail.
    Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original 
export certificate of airworthiness issued after December 1, 2025, must 
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the 
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet; 
this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the 
applicability.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on 
these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2026-13801.

Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2025-0204 specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness 
limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    EASA AD 2026-0034 specifies additional new or more restrictive 
airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and safe life limits.
    This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2024-0005, which the 
Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by 
reference as of November 15, 2024 (89 FR 82493, October 11, 2024)..
    This material is reasonably available because the interested 
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by 
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority 
of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. 
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design 
Authority, that authority has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition 
described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM 
after determining that the unsafe condition described previously is 
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2024-19-
03. This proposed AD would also require revising the existing 
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate 
additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are 
specified in EASA AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034 already described, 
as proposed for incorporation by reference. Any differences with EASA 
AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034 are identified as exceptions in the 
regulatory text of this proposed AD.
    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator 
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). 
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For 
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in 
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able 
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this 
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request 
approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to 
paragraph (m)(1) of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD 
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation 
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance 
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been 
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the 
FAA proposes to retain the Incorporation by Reference (IBR) of EASA AD 
2024-0005 and incorporate EASA AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034 by 
reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, 
require compliance with EASA AD 2024-0005, EASA AD 2025-0204, and EASA 
AD 2026-0034 through that incorporation, except for any differences 
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD. 
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular 
section in EASA AD 2024-0005, EASA AD 2025-0204, or EASA AD 2026-0034 
does not mean that operators need to comply only with that section. For 
example, where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and 
compliance times,'' compliance with this proposed AD requirement is not 
limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance 
Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2024-0005, EASA AD 2025-0204, or EASA AD 2026-
0034. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0005 is available at 
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2024-1694, 
and material required by EASA AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034 for 
compliance will be available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> by searching for and 
locating Docket No. FAA-2026-13801 after the FAA final rule is 
published.

Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process

    The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the 
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs 
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service 
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the 
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the 
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness 
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
    For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes 
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged. 
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, 
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new 
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must 
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
    The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a 
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g., 
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals 
are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures

[[Page 70033]]

specified in the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional AD Provisions.'' 
This new format includes a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and 
Intervals'' paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but 
operators may still request an AMOC to use an alternative action or 
interval.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would 
affect 38 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following 
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained 
actions from AD 2024-19-03 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or 
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, 
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator 
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection 
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined 
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane 
estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed 
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to 
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the 
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs, 
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in 
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements. 
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight 
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for 
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary 
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that 
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to 
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism 
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not 
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship 
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution 
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed 
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive 
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or 
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria 
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    (1) This AD does not adopt the requirements specified in 
paragraphs (1) and (2) of EASA AD 2024-0005.
    (2) Paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2024-0005 specifies revising ``the 
approved AMP,'' within 12 months after its effective date, but this 
AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, 
as applicable, within 90 days after November 15, 2024 (the effective 
date of AD 2024-19-03).
    (3) The initial compliance time for doing the tasks specified in 
paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2024-0005 is at the applicable 
``limitations'' and ``associated thresholds'' as incorporated by the 
requirements of paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2024-0005, or within 90 
days after November 15, 2024 (the effective date of AD 2024-19-03), 
whichever occurs later.
    (4) This AD does not adopt the provisions specified in 
paragraphs (4) and (5) of EASA AD 2024-0005.
    (5) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 
2024-0005.

(i) Retained Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals, With a 
New Exception

accordance with, EASA AD 2025-0204, dated September 19, 2025 (EASA 
AD 2025-0204); and EASA AD 2026-0034, dated February 23, 2026 (EASA 
AD 2026-0034). Where EASA AD 2026-0034 affects the same 
airworthiness limitations as those in EASA AD 2025-0204, the 
airworthiness limitations referenced in EASA AD 2026-0034 prevail. 
Accomplishing the revision of the existing maintenance or inspection 
program required by this paragraph terminates the requirements of 
paragraph (g) of this AD.

(k) Exceptions to EASA AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034

    (1) This AD does not adopt the requirements specified in

(4) of EASA AD 2026-0034.
    (6) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 
2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034.

(l) New Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals

    After the existing maintenance or inspection program has been 
revised as required by paragraph (j) of this AD, no alternative 
actions (e.g., inspections) and intervals are allowed unless they 
are approved as specified in the provisions of the ``Ref. 
Publications'' section of EASA AD 2025-0204 and EASA AD 2026-0034.

(m) Additional AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, AIR-
520, Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA, has the authority to 
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found 
in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request 
to your principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, 
as appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of
