Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-07-13, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and - 1041 airplanes. AD 2023-07-13 requires repetitive detailed inspections of the lower attachment studs on the AFT galley complex and, depending on findings, replacement of the lower attachment studs. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-07-13, it has been determined that additional airplanes are affected, and that all affected parts must be replaced with serviceable parts. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-07-13, add airplanes to the applicability, and require the replacement of all affected parts, as specified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
