Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310-324, A310-325, and A300 B4-622R Series Airplanes Equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW4000 Series Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A310-324, A310-325, and A300 B4- 622R series airplanes equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series engines. This action requires revising the Airplane Flight Manuals (AFM) for the Model A310 and Model A300-600 series airplanes. This action is necessary to prevent acceleration and climb performance less than that specified in the AFM, which could result in runway overruns or impact with obstacles or terrain. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Part-conditionalFB2C.

Applies only to affected A310/A300 model airplanes equipped with Pratt & Whitney PW4000 series engines. Not applicable to airplanes fitted with current-production FB2C (Phase 3) fan blades on both engines (i.e., airplanes incorporating Airbus Modification 10925).

Whether AD 2001-09-05 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:

Method of complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2001-09-05 complied with on your aircraft?

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.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
