The Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile (DGAC) of France originally type certificated the Airbus Model A340 -200 and A340-300
series airplanes under its type certificate number DGAC-F TC 183. The FAA validated this product under U.S. Type Certificate Number
A43NM. Effective September 28, 2003, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) began oversight of this product on behalf
of DGAC.
Part 26 – Continued Airworthiness and Safety Improvements for Transport Category Airplanes:
Based on § 21.29(a) for new import TCs, or § 21.101(g) for changes to TCs, applicable provisions of part 26 are included in t he
certification basis. For any future part 26 amendments, the holder of this TC must demonstrate compliance with the applicable sections.
Production Basis
From July 21, 2008, A340 aircraft, all series and models, are produced in France under production approval reference EASA.21G .0001
issued by EASA, prior that date all A340 aircraft, all series and models, are produced in France under production approval FR.21G.0035
(formerly FG 035) issued by the DGAC (on behalf of EASA) to Airbus.

IV. Type A340-600 Series Transport Category Airplanes
Airbus Model A340-642 - approved July 22, 2002
The A340-600 series differs from the A340 -300 series aircraft by the addition of 20 fuselage frames with corresponding increases in
weight, thrust, horizontal stabilizer area and wing area. Full electrical control of the rudder replaces the previous mechan ical linkage
between computer and actuators for both primary and backup systems
