AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2008-01-05
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-01-05
SUMMARY:
The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), that applies to certain AirbusModel A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires modification of certain wires in the right hand(RH) wing. This new AD requires further modification by installing an additional protection sleeve and segregating route 2S in the RH pylon area. This AD results from analysis of wire routing that revealed that route 2S of the fuel electrical circuit, located in the RH wing, does notprovide adequate separation of fuel quantity indication wires from wires carrying 115-voltalternating current (AC). We are issuing this AD to ensure that fuel quantity indication wires are properly separated from wires carrying 115-volt AC. Improper separation of such wires, in the event of wire damage, could lead to a short circuit and a possible ignition source, which could result in a fire in the airplane.
