Summary
We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2013-10- 06, for all Airbus Model A330-200 Freighter, A330-200, A330-300, A340- 200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. AD 2013-10-06 currently requires an inspection to identify the installed windshields, and replacement of any affected windshield. Since we issued AD 2013-10- 06, the manufacturer has identified a new batch of affected windshield parts on the airplane. This proposed AD would expand the inspection area to 15 additional windshields' serial numbers. We are proposing this AD to prevent significantly increased workload for the flightcrew, which could, under some flight phases and/or circumstances, constitute an unsafe condition.
