Abstract
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4- 600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes); and Model A310 series airplanes. This AD is intended to complete certain mandated programs intended to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that support the established structural maintenance program. This AD requires inspecting the forward passenger doors to identify the part number, and for affected doors, inspecting to identify existing repairs and doing corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
