AD NUMBER: 2007-06-05
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-06-05
SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as: * * * * * * * * updates [to the airplane maintenance manual (AMM), engine service manual (ESM), and quick engine change kit instruction manual (QECKIM)] have inadvertently introduced torque value errors for the bolts that attach the forward enginemount to the engine. * * * * * * * *  Application of the incorrect torque to the forward engine mount bolts during maintenance could result in failure of the forward engine mount and possible separation of the engine from the airplane and damage to the wing or loss of control of the airplane. This AD requires actions that are intended to address the unsafe condition described inthe MCAI.
