Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-10-18. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Airbus Industrie, Airbus A300 Model B2-1A, A300 Model B2-1C, A300 Model B2-203, A300 Model B2K-3C, A300 Model B4-103, A300 Model B4-203, A300 Model B4-2C, A300 Model B4-600 Series, A300 Model B4-600R Series, A300 Model F4-600R Series, A300B4-601, A300B4-603, A300B4-605R, A300B4-620, A300B4-622R, A300F4-605R, A300F4-622R, A310-203, A310-221, A310-222, A310-304, A310-322, A310-324, A310-325, A310 Model 325.
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 Industrie Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes, that requires inspections to detect cracks in the lower spar axis of the pylons between ribs 6 and 7, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by reports that fatigue cracking has 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.
