Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-12659 · Airbus Model A300 F4-605R Airplanes
Airbus Model A300 F4-605R Airplanes
Model A300 F4-605R airplanes, certificated in any category, except those on which Airbus production Modification 12081 or the modification specified by Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53- 6119, Revision 01, dated September 25, 2000, has been installed.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 F4-605R airplanes, that requires installation of external doublers at frames 29 and 33. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking of certain circumferential joints, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage in the vicinity of the upper deck cargo door.
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.
