Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 F4-605R airplanes, that requires installation of external doublers at frames 29 and 33. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fatigue cracking of certain circumferential joints, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage in the vicinity of the upper deck cargo door.
