AD NUMBER: 2009-06-06
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2009-06-06 SUMMARY: This airworthiness
directive (AD) supersedes two existing ADs. One AD applies to
certain Airbus Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes. That AD
currently requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the flap
transmission shafts, and replacement of the transmission shafts if
necessary.That AD also provides an optional terminating action for
the repetitive inspections. The other existing AD applies to all
Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes,and
Model C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600
series airplanes); and Model A310-200 and -300 series airplanes.
That AD currently requires a one-time inspection of the trimmable
horizontal stabilizer actuator (THSA), corrective actions if
necessary, and follow-on repetitive tasks. This new AD also
requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the
Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new
limitations and maintenance tasks foraging systems maintenance.
This AD results from the manufacturer's determination that life
limitations and maintenance tasks are necessary to ensure continued
operational safety of the affected airplanes. We are issuing this
AD to prevent reduced structural integrity of these airplanes due
to the failure of system components.
