Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections to detect corrosion on the fuselage skin panels that surround the emergency exits immediately aft of the wing; and follow-on corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct corrosion on the fuselage skin panels that surround the emergency exits immediately aft of the wing, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the fuselage pressure vessel.
