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

What this AD requires

This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 98-11-19 that was published in the Federal Register on May 28, 1998 (63 FR 29096). The typographical error in the applicability statement of the AD resulted in a reference to an engine model that does not exist. This AD is applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes. This AD requires a visual inspection to detect cracks in the aft mount beam assembly of the engine; and replacement of any cracked beam with a new beam or beam assembly; and a fluorescent penetrant inspection to detect cracks in the aft mount beam assembly of the engine, and various follow-on actions.

Whether AD 98-32097 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 98-32097 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.
