Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10780 · Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes
Model A300 series airplanes, as listed in Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300-53-301, Revision 1, dated February 20, 1997; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect corrosion on the fuselage skin panels that surround the emergency exits immediately aft of the wing; and follow-on corrective actions, if necessary. 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 detect and correct corrosion on the fuselage skin panels that surround the emergency exits immediately aft of the wing, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage pressure vessel.
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.
