Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(6) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Model A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 airplanes. (2) Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes. (3) Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes. (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

Before the accumulation of 10,000 total flight cycles since first flight of the airplane, or within 2,000 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later: Replace each aft hinge bolt assembly having P/N A53612600000 on the left and right NLG aft doors, with a new hinge bolt assembly having P/N A53612713000, 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 A300-53-0396, dated November 25, 2015. (2) Airbus Service Bulletin A310-53-2142, dated November 17, 2015. (3) Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6182, dated November 17, 2015.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of failure of an aft hinge bolt assembly in the nose landing gear (NLG) aft doors. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of an aft hinge bolt assembly in an NLG aft door while the airplane is in flight, which could lead to an in-flight loss of an NLG aft door, and damage to the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
