Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Industrie Model A300, A300-600, and A310 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Industrie Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes, that requires inspections to detect cracks in the lower spar axis of the pylon between ribs 9 and 10, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that fatigue cracks have been found on the lower spar of the pylon. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the lower spar of the pylon.

Whether AD 95-10986 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 95-10986 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.
