AD 2012-06-08 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Models named: A340-211, -212, -311, -312. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus Model A340-211, -212, -311, and -312 airplanes; certificated in any category; having manufacturer serial numbers (MSN) 0002, 0003, 0005 through 0009 inclusive, 0011, 0013, 0014, 0015, 0018 through 0023 inclusive, 0025, 0026, and 0027.
Compliance
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Required actions
At the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD: Do an ultrasonic inspection for cracking at the fastener hole area just above stringer 28, of both left- and right-hand fuselage frame 39.1, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A340-53-4184, excluding Appendices 01 and 02, dated October 5, 2010. Repeat the inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 7,850 flight cycles or 53,300 flight hours, whichever occurs first. (1) Before the accumulation of 13,600 total flight cycles or 92,100 total flight hours since the first flight of the airplane, whichever occurs first; or (2) Within 6 months after the effective date of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a determination that certain airplanes were not included in a certain airworthiness limitation item (ALI) task (inspections for cracking of the fuselage frame 39.1) and that the inspections must be done to address the identified unsafe condition. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the fuselage that could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
