Airworthiness Directive 97-10318

one-time
AD 97-10318 · 1997-04-22 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 97-02-04 that was published in the Federal Register on January 22, 1997 (62 FR 3204). The typographical error resulted in specification of an ``inch'' figure that does not equal the ``millimeter'' figure for a certain brake wear limit. This AD is applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 series airplanes. This AD requires an inspection of the landing gear brakes for wear, and replacement if the specified wear limits are not met. That AD also requires incorporation of the specified wear limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program.

Whether AD 97-10318 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 compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
Date — When the work was done.
Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 97-10318 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.
