AD: Airbus Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2012-07-02

PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2012-07-02
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD requires repetitive inspections of the forward and aft attachment fittings and of the swan neck for cracks, and replacing the attachment fittings and the swan neck with serviceable ones if necessary. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks on the forward attachment fittings of the left and right sides of the forward hinge of the nose landing gear (NLG) aft door.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks of the forward attachment fittings and the swan neck, which could lead to the in-flight detachment of the NLG aft door and result in injury to persons on the ground or damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 20, 2012.

FMI: AD
