## Summary

The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A330-841 and -941 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of erroneous electronic centralized airplane monitoring (ECAM) warnings for low engine oil pressure, which can lead to a commanded shutdown of an engine. This proposed AD would require installing serviceable engine electronic control (EEC) software or EEC units having the serviceable software, limiting certain parts installation configurations, and prior or concurrent modification of EEC software, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
