ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-10-
08, AD 2017-05-10, and AD 2019-01-05, which applied to certain Airbus
SAS Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series airplanes; and AD
2019-20-13, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, A330-
200 Freighter, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600
series airplanes. AD 2016-10-08 required determining the flight cycles
accumulated on certain trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators
(THSAs), and replacing the THSA if necessary. AD 2017-05-10, AD 2019-
01-05, and AD 2019-20-13 required revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable. This AD was prompted by a
determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European
Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by
reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.
DATES: This AD is effective December 22, 2022.
The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0250, dated November 17, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0250) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A330-201, -202, -203, -223,
and -243 airplanes; Model A330-223F and -243F airplanes; Model A330-
301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342, and -343 airplanes;
Model A330-841 airplanes; and Model A330-941 airplanes.
The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2016-10-08, Amendment 39-18519 (81 FR
31844, May 20, 2016) (AD 2016-10-08); AD 2017-05-10, Amendment 39-18821
(82 FR 13379, March 13, 2017) (AD 2017-05-10); AD 2019-01-05, Amendment
39-19544 (84 FR 4310, February 15, 2019) (AD 2019-01-05); and AD 2019-
20-13, Amendment 39-19766 (84 FR 56378, October 22, 2019) (AD 2019-20-
13). AD 2016-10-08, AD 2017-05-10, and AD 2019-01-05, applied to
certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, and -300 series
airplanes, and AD 2019-20-13 applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A330-
200, A330-200 Freighter, A330-300, A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and
A340-600 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on June 23, 2022 (87 FR 37454). The NPRM was prompted by a
determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. The NPRM proposed to require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as
specified in EASA AD 2021-0250.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the failure of system
components, which could reduce the controllability of the airplane. See
the MCAI for additional background information.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive
Comments
The FAA received a comment from the Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) who supported the NPRM without change.
Conclusion
The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2021-0250 specifies airworthiness limitations for system
equipment maintenance requirements.
This AD also requires Airbus Service Bulletin A330-27-3199, dated
July 15, 2014, which the Director of the Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of June 24, 2016 (81 FR 31844, May 20,
2016).
This AD also requires Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section
(ALS) Part 4, System Equipment Maintenance Requirements (SEMR),
Revision 07, dated October 15, 2018, which the Director of the Federal
Register approved for incorporation by reference as of November 26,
2019 (84 FR 56378, October 22, 2019).
This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD affects 138 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2016-10-08 to be $255 per product (3 work-hours x $85
per work-hour) for inspecting the THSA for a total cost for U.S.
operators of $35,190. The retained on-condition cost for AD 2016-10-08
is $724,511 per product (23 work-hours x $85 per work-hour). The FAA
estimates the total cost per operator for the retained actions from AD
2019-20-13 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new actions
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

(s) Additional AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the International
Validation Branch, send it to the attention of the person identified
in paragraph (t) of this AD. Information may be emailed to: [email protected]. Before using any approved AMOC, notify your
appropriate principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector,
the manager of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Validation Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's EASA Design
Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval
must include the DOA-authorized signature.
(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by
paragraph (s)(2) of this AD, if any service information contains
procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those procedures and
tests must be done to comply with this AD; any procedures or tests
that are not identified as RC are recommended. Those procedures and
tests that are not identified as RC may be deviated from using
accepted methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or
inspection program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided
the procedures and tests identified as RC can be done and the
airplane can be put back in an airworthy condition. Any
substitutions or changes to procedures or tests identified as RC
require approval of an AMOC.
