The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-14-09, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A330-200 Freighter series airplanes. AD 2019-14-09 requires repetitive detailed inspections, including functional testing, of the oxygen crew and courier distribution system (OCCDS) and replacement of affected part(s) if necessary. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-14-09, the FAA has determined that all affected parts must be replaced with improved flexible oxygen hoses in order to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2019-14-09 and require replacement of all affected parts with improved serviceable parts, which is terminating action for the repetitive inspections, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
