Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9355 · Airbus Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2016-07-20. Comply with the one in force.
All Model A300-600 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect cracks in the bottom skin of the wing in the area of the cut out for the pylon rear attachment fitting, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that, during full-scale fatigue testing, a crack was found in the bottom skin of the wing at the cut out for the aft pylon attachment fitting due to fatigue-related stress. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such fatigue-related cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the wing.
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.
