(4) Model A300 F4-605R and F4-622R airplanes. (5) Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. (6) 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 36 months after the effective date of this AD, or before exceeding the applicable airplane design service goal specified in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, whichever occurs later: Identify the part number on the forward passenger doors on the left-hand and right-hand sides, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the applicable service information identified in paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), or (g)(3) of this AD. (1) Airbus Service Bulletin A300-52-0180, Revision 01, dated October 14, 2014 (for Model A300 airplanes). (2) Airbus Service Bulletin A300-52-6084, Revision 01, dated October 16, 2014 (for Model A300-600 series airplanes). (3) Airbus Service Bulletin A310-52-2076, Revision 01, dated October 14, 2014. Table 1 to Paragraph ( g ) of This AD—Design Service Goal Airplane model/series Design service goal flight cycles or flight hours A300 B2-100, B2-200, B2-320 Before the accumulation of 48,000 total flight cycles. A300 B4-100 Before the accumulation of 40,000 total flight cycles. A300 B4-200 Before the accumulation of 34,000 total flight cycles. A300 B4-600, B4-600R, F4-600R, C4-600R Before the accumulation of 30,000 total flight cycles or 67,500 total flight hours, whichever occurs first. A310-200 Before the accumulation of 40,000 total flight cycles or 60,000 total flight hours, whichever occurs first. A310-300 Before the accumulation of 35,000 total flight cycles or 60,000 total flight hours, whichever occurs first.
Unsafe condition
This AD is intended to complete certain mandated programs intended to support the airplane reaching its limit of validity (LOV) of the engineering data that support the established structural maintenance program. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct widespread fatigue damage of the forward passenger doors, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
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.
