Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10793 · Airbus Industrie Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Industrie Model A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2016-01-18. Comply with the one in force.
All Model A300-600 airplanes, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect fatigue cracking of the wing top skin at the front spar joint; and a follow-on eddy current inspection and repair, 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 fatigue cracking of the wing top skin at the front spar joint, which could result in reduced structural integrity 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.
