Airworthiness Directive 02-20019
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300; A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R (Collectively Called A300-600); and A310 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This document corrects information in an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to all Airbus Model A300; A300-600; and A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires certain inspections of the airplane (including the vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, pylons, wing, and fuselage areas) following an in-flight incident resulting in extreme lateral loading. This document clarifies and corrects the information contact in the reporting requirement specified in paragraphs (b)(2) and (c)(2) of that AD. This correction is necessary to ensure that future reports are submitted to a specific point of contact.
Which aircraft AD 02-20019 applies to
Whether AD 02-20019 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.
