Airbus A330 operators must update maintenance programs
If you fly on or maintain certain Airbus A330 airplanes (Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, -300 series, A330-841, and A330-941), the FAA now requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program to add new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. This rule supersedes AD 2022-19-02 and incorporates those limitations as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD to address an identified unsafe condition.
