Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10303 · Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
All Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes. For certain airplanes, this amendment requires replacing the bearings of the throttle control levers with new sealed bearings. For certain other airplanes, this amendment requires replacing the throttle control assemblies with new assemblies. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent asymmetric engine thrust on the airplane when the autothrottle is engaged, which could result in roll and yaw disturbances, and consequent 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.
