This AD applies to Airbus Model A310-203, -204, -222, -304, -322, and -324 airplanes, certificated in any category, manufacturer serial numbers 0378, 0392, 0399, 0404, 0406, 0407, 0409, 0410, 0412, 0413, 0416, 0418, 0419, 0421, 0422, 0424, 0425, 0427, 0428, 0429, 0431, 0432, 0434 to 0437 inclusive, 0439, 0440, 0441, 0443 to 0449 inclusive, 0451 to 0454 inclusive, 0456, 0457, 0458, 0467, 0472, 0473, 0475, 0476, 0478, 0480 to 0485 inclusive, and 0487 to 0499 inclusive.
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 60 months after the effective date of this AD, do the actions specified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD. (1) Modify the wing manhole surrounds and replace the super plastic formed (SPF) “Type 21” fuel access panels at positions 1 and 2 on the left- and right-hand wings with “Type 11” fuel access panels with associated “Type 11A” clamp plates, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Mandatory Service Bulletin A310-57-2097, Revision 01, dated September 29, 2011. (2) Modify the wing manhole surrounds and replace the SPF “Type 21” fuel access panels at positions 1 and 2 on the left- and right-hand wings with “Type 21R” fuel access panels, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A310-57-2033, dated July 15, 1989.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a design review of the fuel tank access covers and analyses comparing compliance of the access covers to different tire burst models. “Type 21” panels located within the debris zone revealed that they could not sustain the impact of the tire debris. We are proposing this AD to prevent a possibility of a fire due to tire debris impact on the fuel access panels.
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.
