Description
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Goodrich cabin attendant seats installed on various Airbus SAS Model A330 and A340 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report that track attachments used on certain part-numbered seats are non-compliant. The directive requires replacing all seat track attachments and hardware and re-identifying the seat with a new part number to address the unsafe condition. Compliance is required within 2 years after the effective date of July 6, 2026.
