Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2000-26-03. Comply with the one in force.
Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, certificated in any category; except those on which Airbus Modifications 06267 and 07340 have been accomplished during production.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires wiring modifications to the engine and auxiliary power unit (APU) fire detection system. 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 prevent the fire warning from terminating prematurely, which could result in an unnoticed, uncontained engine/APU fire.
Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.
To prevent the fire warning from terminating prematurely, which could result in an unnoticed, uncontained engine/auxiliary power unit (APU) fire, accomplish the following:
Modifications
(a) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD, accomplish the wiring modifications to the engine and APU fire detection system in the relay box 282VU and the electronics rack 90VU in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A310-26-2024, Revision 04, dated March 5, 1999 (for Model A310 series airplanes); or A300-26-6038, dated March 5, 1999, or Revision 1, dated September 8, 1999 (for Model A300-600 series airplanes); as applicable.
