Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric Model CF6-80A3 Series Engines

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection to detect cracked or broken links of the aft engine mounts, and replacement of any cracked or broken link with a serviceable link. 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 detect and correct cracking of the links of the aft engine mounts, which could result in failure of the aft engine attachment and consequent separation of the engine from the airplane.
