AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2008-06-18
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2008-06-18
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: [T]he detection of cracks on multiple aircraft in lower skin panel No. 2 forward of access panel 575FB/675FB held on the rear dummy spar, inboard of rib 9,fuselage side, aft of the rear spar. This area of structure has been subjected to several repairs and modifications in previous years. The AIRBUS Service Bulletins (SB) A300-57-0177 at Revision 3 and A300-57-6029 at Revision 4 define the various configurations for the mandatory inspections to be conducted in order to control or correct the development of cracks which could affect the structural integrity of the aircraft. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.
