Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11327 · Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2001-13-20. Comply with the one in force.
Model A310 series airplanes on which Airbus Modification 05911 has been installed, and Model A300-600 series airplanes on which Airbus Modification 06214 has been installed; equipped with a standby generator (FIN 25XE); certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires a detailed visual inspection to detect damage to the terminal lugs on the 12XC and 15XE connectors and the mounting lugs on the 15XE connector; and repair or replacement of the terminal lugs or the 15XE connector with new parts, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of a mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct broken terminal and mounting lugs on the 15XE and 12XC connectors in the 101VU panel in the avionics compartment, which could result in loss of electrical power from the standby generator.
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.
