AD 2013-05-08

Unsafe Condition

The FAA is correcting airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-05-08 that published in the Federal Register. AD 2013-05-08 applies to all Airbus Model A330-200 and A330-300 series airplanes, and Model A340-200 and A340-300 series airplanes. Two paragraphs of AD 2013-05-08 incorrectly specify flight control secondary computers (FCSCs), rather than flight control primary computers (FCPCs). This document corrects those errors. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.

Required Actions

Modify three flight control primary computers (FCPCs). Modify two flight control secondary computers (FCSCs). Revise the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include certain information. Replace certain O-rings. Check part number and replace certain O-ring seals if needed.
