Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS A300 B4-103, A300 B4-203, A300 B4-2C, A300 B4-601, A300 B4-603, A300 B4-620, A300 B4-622R.
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), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires modification of the fuel tank jettison system. This amendment is prompted by a quality survey which revealed that the electrical bonding of the fuel jettison system has insufficient protection from a lightning strike. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent electrical arcing and resultant fire in the event of a lightning strike.
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.
