Docket No. 99-NM-327-AD
Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 B4-203 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections of the attachment bolts of the brake bar on the main landing gear (MLG) to detect missing or damaged bolts, and replacement with new bolts, 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 detachment of the brake bar from the MLG strut, which could result in failure of the main landing gear to extend.
