Airworthiness Directive 98-32097
one-timeAirworthiness 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.
Which aircraft AD 98-32097 applies to
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:
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.
