Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10685 · Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-07-29. Comply with the one in force.
Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes; on which any fire shut-off valve (FSOV) having part number (P/N) B38LC37XX or B38LC50XX (where XX is 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, or 10) is installed; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires a one-time operational test of the fire shut- off valves (FSOV's) to determine if the FSOV's are functioning correctly, and replacement of failed parts with new or serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the FSOV's to close, which could result in failure of the engine fire shut- off system, and consequent inability to extinguish an engine fire.
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.
