The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Industrie Models A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive deployment tests of the ram air turbine (RAT) and checks of the adjustment of the locking rod. This amendment is prompted by reports of failure of the RAT to rotate when necessary, due to maladjustment of the locking rod. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure the availability of the RAT in case of need.
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.
