Abstract
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A310 airplanes, Model A300 B4-600 series airplanes, Model A300 B4-600R series airplanes, Model A300 F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. This AD requires inspections of the rudder for discrepancies and corrective action if necessary. This AD also requires reporting all inspection results to the airplane manufacturer and the FAA. This AD results from two separate findings of inner skin disbonding discovered while undergoing unrelated repair and maintenance procedures. We are issuing this AD to detect discrepancies of the rudder, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the rudder.
