Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10838 · Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Model A300 series airplanes on which Airbus Modification 3599 or 3135 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A300- 53-0188) has been accomplished, and all Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes and all Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections for wear damage of the aft attachment fittings of the articulated seats and dummy tracks in the passenger compartment; 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 wear damage of the aft attachment fittings of the articulated seats and dummy tracks. Such wear damage could cause the floor panels to sag and result in failure of flight control systems and consequent reduced controllability 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.
