Summary
The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a determination that certain primary flight control actuators have been exposed to mechanical overloads during the acceptance test procedure. This proposed AD would require replacing affected parts with serviceable parts and would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
