What this AD requires

This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) T95-01-51 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, A330, and A340 series airplanes by individual telegrams. This AD requires an inspection of the sliding side windows in the cockpit to identify the part number of the windows. For airplanes on which a certain suspect window is installed, this AD requires either deactivation of the sliding window defogging system; or installation of thermo-sensitive indicators, daily inspections of those indicators, and deactivation of the defogging system, if necessary; or replacement of the window with a serviceable window. This amendment is prompted by reports of fracture of the sliding side window in the cockpit, due to thermal stress created by overheating of the wires of the heating element in a localized area. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such fractures, which could lead to rupture of a cockpit sliding window and subsequent rapid decompression of the fuselage.

Whether AD 95-1845 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 95-1845 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.
