Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10614 · Airbus Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2015-13-07. Comply with the one in force.
Model A300-600 series airplanes on which Airbus Modification No. 6146 has not been installed, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes, that requires inspections to detect corrosion and cracking of the lower horizontal stabilizer cutout longeron, the corner fitting, the skin strap, and the outer skin; and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by cracking found at the lower corner of the horizontal stabilizer cutout longeron during a full scale fatigue test. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the horizontal- stabilizer cutout longeron.
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.
