## Abstract

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes. This action requires incorporating into the FAA-approved maintenance program certain torque values for installing certain nuts and bolts of the engine attachment fittings; and follow-on actions, if necessary. 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 prevent cracking of the nuts and bolts of the engine attachment fittings due to overtorquing; such cracking could propagate and result in separation of the engine from the airplane.
