FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A330 and A340-200/300 Series Airplanes

The FAA proposes a new airworthiness directive for Airbus Model A330 and A340-200/300 series airplanes to revise the flight manual to prevent automatic landings and roll-outs at certain airports due to outdated magnetic variation tables in air data inertial reference units. The proposed directive aims to prevent the airplane from departing the runway during CAT 2 or CAT 3 landings or roll-outs.
