Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9395 · Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2016-20-08. Comply with the one in force.
All Model A300 and A300-600 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the No. 2 flap beams, and replacement of the flap beams, if necessary. That AD was prompted by reports of cracking of the No. 2 flap beams. This amendment provides optional modifications for extending certain inspection thresholds, and an optional terminating modification for certain inspections. This amendment also expands the applicability of the existing AD to include Model A300-600 series airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent asymmetry of the flaps due to cracking of the No. 2 flap beams.
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.
