This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting airworthiness directive (AD) T98-25-53 that was sent to all known U.S. owners and operators of all Airbus Model A300 B4-600R and A300 F4-600R series airplanes by individual telegrams. This AD requires a one-time visual inspection for damage of the center fuel pumps and fuel pump canisters, and replacement of damaged fuel pumps and fuel pump canisters with new or serviceable parts. This action is prompted by reports of damaged center tank fuel pump canisters and damaged center tank fuel pumps. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect damage to the fuel pump and fuel pump canister, which could result in loss of flame trap capability and could provide a fuel ignition source in the center fuel tank.
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.
