AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2007-21-14
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2007-21-14
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus Model A310 series airplanes.

This AD requires revising the Airworthiness Limitations Section of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems. This AD results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer.

We are issuing this AD to prevent the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors caused by latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions, could result in fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.
