## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes and all Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections for wear damage of the aft attachment fittings of the articulated seats and dummy tracks in the passenger compartment; and repair, 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 wear damage of the aft attachment fittings of the articulated seats and dummy tracks. Such wear damage could cause the floor panels to sag and result in failure of flight control systems and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
