Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10282 · Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Model A310 and A300-600 airplanes on which Airbus Modification 6919 or 11849 has not been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the attachment bolts and washers for the forward cargo container and pallet latches in the aft cargo compartment to determine if bolts and washers having the correct part numbers are installed; and replacement of the bolts and washers with parts having the correct part numbers, if necessary. This AD also requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual and certain supplements to specify certain cargo loading procedures that must be used until the inspection is accomplished. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent cargo from shifting in flight, and consequent structural damage and reduced controllability of the airplane.
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.
