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

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A300 and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the lugs of hinge brackets of inner airbrakes (spoilers) No. 1 and No. 2, and corrective action, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by the issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent detachment of the spoilers and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
