AD 2017-15-17 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Models named: A300 B4-605R, B4-622R, A300 C4-605R Variant F, A300 F4-605R, F4-622R. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this AD, on which Airbus Modification 10221 was embodied in production. (1) Airbus Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes. (2) Airbus Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. (3) Airbus Model A300 F4-605R and F4-622R airplanes.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
At the later of the compliance times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD, do a high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspection of the lower area of the FR 40 radius for cracking, in accordance with paragraph 4.2.2 in Airbus Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) A57W009-16, Rev 01, including Appendices 1 and 2, dated July 13, 2016. (1) Prior to exceeding 19,000 total flight cycles or 41,000 total flight hours since the airplane's first flight, whichever occurs first. (2) Within 300 flight cycles or 630 flight hours after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by the detection of cracking that originated from the fastener holes in the forward fitting lower radius of frame (FR) 40. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking in the forward fitting lower radius of FR 40. Such cracking could reduce the structural integrity of the fuselage.
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.
