A350-941 Landing Gear Replacement Required
The FAA proposes a rule that applies to all Airbus Model A350-941 airplanes requiring replacement of affected main landing gear (MLG) bogie beam axles. The action responds to anodic burns found after a high velocity oxygen-fuel (HVOF) stripping process and also would prohibit installing the affected parts, as specified in a related EASA airworthiness directive incorporated by reference.
