Reason:

The modification (MOD) 58723 (A340-200/300) and the MOD 58724 (A340-500/600) consist in installing on A340 a Flammability Reduction System (FRS) to reduc e the oxygen concentration in the centre fuel tank by feeding it with Nitrogen-Enriched Air (NEA).

The aim of this variation is to introduce a Critical Design Configuration Control Limitation (CDCCL), related to the design changes having an effect on FRS performance and/or an effect on fuel tank flammability exposure. This CDCCL applies to FAA operators only.A340 AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
