Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-16- 19, for all Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, -200, and -300 series airplanes. AD 2014-16-19 currently requires revision of the maintenance or inspection program to include certain fuel airworthiness limitations. Since we issued AD 2014-16-19, Airbus has issued more restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations. This proposed AD would require revision of the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to include new fuel airworthiness limitations. The proposed AD also removes certain airplanes from the applicability of AD 2014-16- 19. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
