AD 2014-16-20 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Models named: A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, B4-203. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus Model A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes, certificated in any category, all serial numbers.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in Table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD. The compliance time for doing the initial actions specified in Table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD is before 60,000 total flight hours accumulated on the airplane, or within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later. Table 1 to Paragraph ( g ) of This AD: Intervals for New Airworthiness Limitation Items Maintenance planning document task No. Task description Interval (not to exceed) Aircraft maintenance manual reference 273311 0503 1 ARTIFICIAL FEEL-ELEVATOR—Operational test of pitch artificial feel by comparing qualitatively operating loads in high-speed and low-speed configurations (with each individual hydraulic system) 2,500 flight hours 273300/501 273313 0503 1 COMPUTER-ARTIFICIAL FEEL—Operational test of artificial feel “pitch feel” and “rudder travel” monitoring circuits (warning light test and indicating system test) 3,500 flight hours 272300/501 and 273300/501 222100 0503 1 YAW DAMPER—Operational test to verify correct operation of mechanical control between yaw damper system 2 and the rudder 80 flight hours 222100/501 222600 0503 1 YAW DAMPER—Operational test to verify correct operation of mechanical control between yaw damper system 2 and the rudder 80 flight hours 222600/501 272411 0503 1 SERVO CONTROL-RUDDER—Operational test of rudder servo controls (with individual hydraulic system) by moving right-hand (RH) rudder pedal full forward and visually observe that rudder moves to the right. Check that rudder travel is confirmed on the flight control position indicator. Release RH pedal. Repeat above test by moving left-hand rudder pedal. 250 flight hours 271400/501 275400 0503 1 FLAP ASYMMETRY—Operational test of flap asymmetry monitoring circuit (include solenoid operation) 500 flight hours 275400/501 275400 0503 2 FLAP PRESSURE-OFF BRAKE—Operational test of pressure-off brake 1,000 flight hours 275400/501 278300 0503 1 SLAT ASYMMETRY—Operational test of slat asymmetry monitoring circuit 500 flight hours 278300/501 278300 0503 2 SLAT PRESSURE-OFF BRAKE—Operational test of pressure-off brake 1,000 flight hours 278300/501
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by an analysis of the impacts of extended service goal activities on Airbus Model A300 series airplanes. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of flight critical systems.

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.
