Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes), certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers.

Compliance

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (f) of AD 2007-10-10 R1, with corrected paragraph references. Within 3 months after June 27, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-10-10, Amendment 39-15051 (72 FR 28827, May 23, 2007) (“AD 2007-10-10”)), revise the ALS of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate Airbus A300-600 ALS Part 5—Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, dated May 31, 2006, as defined in Section 1, “Maintenance/Inspection Tasks,” of Airbus A300-600 Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, Document 95A.1929/05, Issue 1, dated December 19, 2005; or Airbus A300-600 Fuel Airworthiness Limitations, Document 95A.1929/05, Issue 2, dated May 16, 2007. For all tasks identified in Section 1 of these documents, the initial compliance times start from the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, and the repetitive inspections must be accomplished thereafter at the intervals specified in Section 1 of these documents, except as provided by paragraph (h) of this AD. (1) June 27, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-10-10). (2) The date of issuance of the original French standard airworthiness certificate or the date of issuance of the original French export certificate of airworthiness. Note 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD: Airbus Operator Information Telex (OIT) SE 999.0076/06, dated June 20, 2006, identifies the applicable sections of the Airbus A300-600 Airplane Maintenance Manual for accomplishing the tasks specified in Section 1 of Document 95A.1929/05.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by Airbus issuing more restrictive instructions and/or fuel airworthiness limitations. We are issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2007-10-10 R1, Amendment 39-16134 (74 FR 65398, December 10, 2009) (“AD 2007-10-10 R1”).
