This AD applies to Airbus A300 B2-1A, A300 B2-1C, A300 B2-203, A300 B2K-3C, A300 B4-103, A300 B4-203, A300 B4-2C.
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 document adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes, that requires modification of certain evacuation door slides. This amendment is prompted by a report that, during flight crew training, the toe end of the slide lane tore. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent damage to the slide, which could render the slide unusable, contribute to injury of passengers on the slide, and delay or impede the evacuation of passengers during an emergency.
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.
