AD/A330/57 Amdt 2  Engine - Icing Conditions During  10/2007
                   Descent - Operational Procedure

Applicability:  Airbus A330-201, -202, -203, -301, -302 and -303 series aeroplanes, all serial numbers except those on which Airbus modification 56554 has been embodied during production or Airbus SB A330-73-3048 dated 6 June 2007 has been embodied whilst in service.
Requirement:       1. If not previously accomplished in accordance with either AD/A330/57 (EASA AD 2006-0212-E) or AD/A330/57 Amdt 1 (EASA AD 2006-0259-E), incorporate the following amendment into the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM):
                   "ICING CONDITIONS EXPECTED DURING DESCENT

                   • If icing conditions (including ice crystals) are expected during descent:

                        • At top of descent, or at the latest before entering the expected icing conditions:

                          Select ENG ANTI ICE and WING ANTI ICE to ON.

                          Select PACK FLOW at HI.

                        • Below 10 000 ft:

                        Resume normal operation."
                The amendment may be accomplished by including the text detailed below or by including A330 AFM TR 4.03.00/27 into the AFM.
                   2. If not previously accomplished in accordance with AD/A330/57 Amdt 1, amend the Aircraft Operations Manual (AOM) or Flight Crew Operating Manual (FCOM) by inserting the following dispatch restriction or by including a copy of this Amendment into the AOM or FCOM.

                  Dispatch restriction:

                  - Dispatch with the "Pack Flow Selection" inoperative (item numbered
                  21-51-02 in the associated MMEL) is prohibited when the aircraft is operating in icing conditions.
             Note 1:  All the other published dispatch conditions remain unaffected by this AD.  In particular the MMEL items relating to Air Conditioning Pack, Anti-Ice Protection and Bleed Air System are unchanged and remain valid.
                3. Modify the full authority digital engine control (FADEC) software of both engines in accordance with instructions defined in SB A330-73-3048 or later EASA approved revision.
             Accomplishment of SB A330-73-3048 on both engines terminates the requirements of this Amendment.
