Airworthiness Directive 01-9665
recurringAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 B4-620, A310-203, A310-221, and A310-222 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 B4-620, A310-203, A310-221, and A310-222 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections of fuselage frame 07 in the upper frame section assemblies of the lateral cockpit windows, and corrective action, if necessary. Accomplishment of certain corrective actions extends the repetitive inspection interval. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking in that area, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 01-9665 applies to
Whether AD 01-9665 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.
