Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the identification of an incorrect shot peening application implemented in production. This proposed AD would require repetitive special detailed inspections (SDIs) of affected central windshield frames and applicable corrective actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
