AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2005-23-08
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2005-23-08
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to all Airbus Model A300 B4-600 and A300 B4-600R series airplanes, and all Model A300 F4-605R airplanes.

That AD currently requires repetitive inspections to detect cracks certain attachment holes, installation of new fasteners, follow-on inspections or repair if necessary, and modification of the angle fittings of fuselage frame FR47.

This new AD revises certain inspection thresholds and intervals. This new AD also adds inspections to detect cracks of additional attachment holes.

This AD results from reports of cracks found before the inspection thresholds in the existing AD and cracks found in nearby areas not inspected by the existing AD. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the forward fitting of fuselage frame FR47, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the frame.
