Models named: A300 B4-603, A300 B4-622, A300 B4-605R, A300 B4-622R, A300 F4-605R, A300 F4-622R, A300 C4-605R Variant F, A310-203, -221, -222. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

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

Compliance

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

Required actions

Before exceeding 42,500 flight cycles since the first flight of the airplane, do a check of the diameter of the fastener holes and tooling holes and a rototest inspection for cracks of all holes of removed fasteners and the tooling holes at the locations specified in, and in accordance with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6187, Revision 00, dated May 31, 2016; or Airbus Service Bulletin A310-53-2145, Revision 00, dated May 31, 2016; as applicable.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder indicating that a section of the fuselage structure above the forward cargo door is subject to widespread fatigue damage. We are issuing this AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of these airplanes due to the failure of certain structural components.

Affected ADs

None.
