Applicability*9

This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(5) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Airbus Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes. (2) Airbus Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes. (3) Airbus Model A300 F4-605R and F4-622R airplanes. (4) Airbus Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. (5) Airbus Model A310-203, -204, -221, -222, -304, -322, -324, and -325 airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, do a one-time inspection of passenger chemical oxygen generators, part numbers (P/N) 117042-02 (15 minutes (min)—2 masks), 117042-03 (15 min—3 masks), 117042-04 (15 min—4 masks), 117042-22 (22 min—2 masks), 117042-23 (22 min—3 masks), or 117042-24 (22 min—4 masks), to determine the date of manufacture, as specified in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A35W008-14, dated December 18, 2014, including Appendix A, undated. Refer to Figure 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD and Figure 2 to paragraph (g) of this AD for the location of the date. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable for the inspection required by this paragraph, provided the date of manufacture can be conclusively determined by that review. ER26MY16.000 BILLING CODE 4910-13-P ER26MY16.001 BILLING CODE 4910-13-C

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of premature aging of certain passenger chemical oxygen generators that resulted in the generators failing to activate. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the passenger chemical oxygen generator to activate and consequently not deliver oxygen during an emergency, possibly resulting in injury to airplane occupants.

Affected ADs

None.
