FAA proposes new and superseding airworthiness directives for Airbus A330 and A340 fleets

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has proposed superseding AD 2025-09-07 for Airbus A330‑243, A330‑243F, A330‑841 and A330‑941 airplanes, requiring revisions to the airplane flight manual and minimum equipment list to address a dual loss of radio‑management‑panel data synchronization and prohibiting installation of the affected equipment; it is also superseding AD 2025‑04‑05 for all A330‑841 and A330‑941 airplanes, continuing required actions except repetitive replacement of affected HPV clips, adding a BMC software update, extra work and a MEL revision for the engine bleed‑overpressure valve while prohibiting the installation of the affected part【1†L1-L3】【2†L1-L3】

In addition, the FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive that applies to all Airbus A330‑243, A330‑243F, A330‑341, A330‑342, A330‑343, A330‑841, A330‑941 and A340‑211, A340‑212, A340‑213, A340‑311, A340‑312, A340‑313, A340‑541 and A340‑642 airplanes, prompted by reports of leaks on closed fuel low‑pressure systems【3†L1-L3】
