Airbus Airplanes to Address Corrosion Issue with New Airworthiness Directive

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 freighter series, as well as Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes, to address corrosion issues with the nose landing gear (NLG) leg. The directive requires adding primer paint to the affected area to prevent potential NLG collapse.
