Models named: A310-203. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus Model A310-203 airplanes, certificated in any category.

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

Within 18 months after the effective date of this AD, replace all side link bolts on left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) side of the engines, and all center sway link bolts and thrust link bolts of both engines, having any part number (P/N) identified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(6) of this AD, with new bolts having the same part number, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-71-2037, including Appendices 01 and 02, dated September 30, 2011. Repeat the bolt replacements thereafter at intervals not exceeding 134 months. (1) P/N 9021M88P01. (2) P/N 9021M88P02. (3) P/N 9205M81P01. (4) P/N 9021M88P03. (5) P/N 9021M88P04. (6) P/N 9205M82P01.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report of an analysis that demonstrated a reduced fatigue life for the side link bolts, center sway link bolts, and thrust link bolts on the forward engine mounts. We are issuing this AD to prevent deterioration of the structural integrity of the bolts, which could result in possible damage to an engine or wing.

Affected ADs

None.
