AD 2019-18-04 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Models named: A300 B2-1A, B2-1C, B2K-3C, B2-203, B4-2C, B4-103, B4-203, A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD, as identified in European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0017, dated January 29, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0017”). (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, B4-622, B4-605R, B4-622R, F4-605R and F4-622R airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. (3) 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
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0017.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of desynchronization of the rudder servo actuators. The FAA is issuing this AD to address desynchronization of one of the three rudder servo actuators, which, if combined with an engine failure, could result in the loss of the related hydraulic system and could cause the loss of one of the two synchronized actuators. This condition could create additional fatigue loading and possible cracking of the attachment fittings and could result in the inability of the remaining synchronized actuator to maintain the commanded rudder deflection, leading to reduced controllability of the airplane.
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2005-17-14, Amendment 39-14235 (70 FR 50157, August 26, 2005) (“AD 2005-17-14”).

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.
