We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-04-05, which applied to all Airbus Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. AD 2011-04-05 required revising the maintenance or inspection program to incorporate new airworthiness limitation items (ALIs). This new AD was prompted by the revision of certain ALIs, which specify more restrictive instructions or airworthiness limitations. This AD requires contacting the FAA to obtain instructions for addressing the unsafe condition on these products, and doing the actions specified in those instructions. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
