Airworthiness Directive 00-1595
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300, A300-600, and A310 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 and all Model A300-600 and A310 series airplanes. This action requires performing a pitch trim system test to detect any continuity defect in the autotrim function, and follow-on corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent a sudden change in pitch due to an out- of-trim condition combined with an autopilot disconnect, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 00-1595 applies to
Whether AD 00-1595 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
How AD compliance is recorded
A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:
Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.
