Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10839 · Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes
All Model A300 series airplanes equipped with CF6-50C2 engines, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes. This action requires incorporating into the FAA-approved maintenance program certain torque values for installing certain nuts and bolts of the engine attachment fittings; and follow-on actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent cracking of the nuts and bolts of the engine attachment fittings due to overtorquing; such cracking could propagate and result in separation of the engine from 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.
