Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10788 · 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, that requires repetitive visual inspections to detect cracked or broken door stop fittings on the fuselage frame of the forward passenger doors, and replacement of any cracked or broken fitting with a new fitting. 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 cracked or broken door stop fittings of the forward passenger doors, which could result in failure of the door stop fittings, consequent reduced structural integrity of the door support structure, and sudden loss of cabin pressure in the passenger compartment.
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.
