FAA Corrects Airbus Rule Without Changing Any Safety Steps

## Summary

The FAA fixed a small mistake in a safety rule for certain Airbus A330 and A340 airplanes. This correction updates a paragraph reference but doesn’t change any safety steps or deadlines. If you operate these planes, nothing new to pay or do—just a clearer rule starting November 23, 2026.

## Abstract

The FAA is correcting an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register. That AD applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-243, A330-243F, A330-341, A330-342, A330-343, A330-841, and A330-941 airplanes; and Model A340-211, A340-212, A340-213, A340-311, A340-312, A340-313, A340-541, and A340-642 airplanes. As published, a paragraph reference specified in the regulatory text is incorrect. This document corrects that error. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

## Effects PRIA read

If you operate the listed Airbus A330 and A340 airplanes, there is nothing new to pay or do because of this correction; the clarified rule is effective November 23, 2026.
- Leak-Check and Valve Replacement Requirement: cost, low. Operators of the specified Airbus A330 and A340 models must comply with repetitive leak checks of certain fuel low pressure shut-off valves (LPSOVs) and replace an affected part if any discrepancy is detected, in accordance with EASA AD 2026-0060R1. For items where Table 1 of the EASA AD gave a com…
- No Reporting or Parts Return Required: benefit, low. Although the EASA material referenced suggests submitting information to the manufacturer and sending removed parts to the manufacturer, this FAA AD explicitly does not include those reporting or parts-return requirements. Operators do not have to send removed parts or submit the specified informat…
