Required actions
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (f) of AD 2008-17-02, Amendment 39-15640 (73 FR 47032, August 13, 2008). For Model A310 airplanes, except for those where LH and RH wing MLG rib 5 forward lugs have been repaired by installation of oversized interference fit bushes as per Airbus A310 Repair Instruction R572-49121, or which have had Airbus Service Bulletin A310-57-2090 (Airbus Modification 13329) embodied in service: Do the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of this AD, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A310-57A2088, dated November 6, 2006. (1) Before the accumulation of 12,000 total flight cycles, or within 14 days after February 6, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-02-09, Amendment 39-14896 (72 FR 2612, January 22, 2007)), whichever occurs later: Perform a detailed visual inspection of the LH and RH wing MLG rib 5 aft bearing forward lugs. (2) If any crack is detected at LH and/or RH aft bearing forward lug, contact Airbus and proceed with the replacement before next flight. (3) Repeat the inspection at intervals not exceeding 100 flight cycles.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the forward lug of the main landing gear (MLG) rib 5 aft bearing attachment. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the forward lugs of the aft bearing at rib 5 of the MLG on the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) wings, which could affect the structural integrity of the MLG attachment, resulting in possible MLG collapse during landing or rollout.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces the ADs specified in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this AD. (1) AD 2007-03-18, Amendment 39-14929 (72 FR 5919, February 8, 2007). (2) AD 2008-17-02, Amendment 39-15640 (73 FR 47032, August 13, 2008). (3) AD 2012-08-03, Amendment 39-17019 (77 FR 24367, April 24, 2012). (4) AD 2012-15-14, Amendment 39-17143 (77 FR 46937, August 7, 2012).
