Airbus Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus A300 B2-1A, A300 B2-1C, A300 B2-203, A300 B2K-3C, A300 B4-103, A300 B4-203, A300 B4-2C, A300 B4-601, A300 B4-603, A300 B4-605R, A300 B4-620, A300 B4-622, A300 B4-622R, A300 C4-605R Variant F, A300 F4-605R, A300 F4-622R, A310-203, A310-204, A310-221, A310-222, A310-304, A310-322, A310-324, A310-325, A320-111, A320-211, A320-212, A320-214, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233.
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 supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 series airplanes, that currently requires an inspection of the landing gear brakes for wear, and replacement if the specified wear limits are not met. That AD also requires incorporation of the specified wear limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program. This amendment requires that certain wear limits that are dependent on brake stack weight be used in conjunction with specified brake stack weights, and that maximum allowable brake wear limits for additional brake units be incorporated into the FAA-approved maintenance program. This amendment is prompted by a report that some brakes that are subject to the requirements of the existing AD have not been removed from service and by the determination of the maximum allowable brake wear limits for additional brake unit part numbers. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the loss of brake effectiveness during a high energy rejected takeoff.
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.
