Airbus Industrie Model A300, A300-600, and A310 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-12-12. Comply with the one in force.
Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes; as listed in Revision 1 of Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin No.'s A300-54-071, A300-54-6011, and A310-54-2016, all dated October 15, 1993; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Industrie Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes, that requires inspections to detect cracks in the lower spar axis of the pylon between ribs 9 and 10, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that fatigue cracks have been found on the lower spar of the pylon. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the lower spar of the pylon.
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.
