### ATA 05 Time Limits/Maintenance Checks – ALS Part 3

Manufacturer(s): AIRBUS (formerly AIRBUS INDUSTRIE)
Applicability: AIRBUS A330 aircraft, models -2 01, -202, -203, -223, -243, -301, -302, - 303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -342 and -343, all serial numbers.

Reason: The Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) were given in the AIRBUS A330 CMR Document up to revision 19, and referenced in the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3 Revision 00. The content of the CMR Document has been recently transferred into the ALS Part 3, which is approved by the Europ ean Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The revision 00 of the AIRBUS A330 ALS Part 3 was issued primarily to introduce two new CMR tasks, referenced 282400-G0001-1-C and 282400-P0001-1-C. The compliance times associated to these two tasks are re-stated in the Record Of Revisions (ROR) of the ALS Part 3 Revision 01. ALS Part 3 Revision 01 introduces more restrictive requirements for aircraft configurations already in service.
EASA AD 2006-0224, mandating complianc e with the requirements of the A330 CMR Document at issue 19, is therefore superseded by this AD.EASA AD No.: 2008-0138
