Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12344 · Airbus Model A300 B2, A300 B4, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340 Series Airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, A300 B4-600R, and A300 F4-600R (Collectively Called A300-600) Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300 B2, A300 B4, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340 Series Airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, A300 B4-600R, and A300 F4-600R (Collectively Called A300-600) Series Airplanes
The following airplanes, certificated in any category: Table 1.--Applicability Except airplanes modified per-- Model/series-- Airbus Reference airbus modification service bulletin A300 B2 and A300 B4............. 12012 A300-32-0429 A300 B4-600, A300 B4-600R, and 12012 A300-32-6075 A300 F4-600R, and A300 F4-600R (collectively called A300-600). A310............................ 12012 A310-32-2113 A319, A320, and A321............ 28301 A320-32-1203 A330............................ 47210 A330-32-3086 A340............................ 47210 A340-32-4122
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300 B2, A300 B4, A310, A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, A300 B4-600R, and A300 F4-600R (collectively called A300-600) series airplanes. That AD currently requires certain repetitive checks, and replacement of the braking dual distribution valve (BDDV) if necessary. This action requires, for certain airplanes, inspecting and/or replacing the BDDV cover. For all other airplanes, this action provides for optional termination of the repetitive checks. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the alternate braking system, which could result in the airplane overrunning the end of the runway during landing.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
