Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13930 · Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes
This AD applies to all Airbus Model A310-203, -204, -221, -222, -304, -322, -324, and -325 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the wire routing of electrical harness 636VB in the right-hand wing. This AD is prompted by the manufacturer's analysis for compliance with Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88, which has shown that wiring 2M of the 115V anti-collision white strobe lights and wiring 2S of the fuel quantity indication system (FQIS) should be rerouted into separate conduits. We are issuing this AD to prevent chafing damage to wiring 2M and 2S, which could result in a short circuit and consequently introduce an electrical current into the wiring of the FQIS and create an ignition source in the fuel tank.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 72 months after the effective date of this AD, modify the routing of electrical harness 636VB in the right-hand wing by accomplishing all of the actions in the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2140, Revision 04, dated March 31, 2004.
Modification of the routing of electrical harness 636VB accomplished before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A310-28-2140, Revision 02, dated May 24, 2002; or Revision 03, dated November 21, 2002; is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of paragraph (f) of this AD.
