Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300 B2 series airplanes and Model A300 B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 series airplanes, that requires identifying the types and areas of repairs on the airplane between frame 10 and frame 80, and performing follow-on actions for certain repairs. These actions are necessary to detect and correct fatigue cracking of certain repairs of the fuselage between frame 10 and frame 80, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. These actions are intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
