Resumo da Diretiva
A FAA está revogando a Diretiva de Aeronavegabilidade (DA) 2019-03-10, que se aplicava a todos os aviões da série Airbus SAS Modelo A300; e aviões das séries Modelo A300 B4-600, B4-600R e F4-600R, e aviões Modelo A300 C4-605R Variante F (coletivamente denominados aviões da série Modelo A300-600). A DA 2019-03-10 exigia inspeções visuais detalhadas repetitivas dos componentes das pernas do trem de pouso principal (TPP) e substituição da perna do TPP se fossem encontrados componentes trincados. Esta DA continua exigindo as ações requeridas pela DA 2019-03-10. Para certos aviões, esta DA também exige modificação do braço de articulação do TPP pela instalação de pinos de articulação/cilindro do TPP melhorados; verificação de falta de circularidade dos pinos removidos; inspeções repetitivas de qualquer pino afetado e dos bucins de barra de ligação associados, e substituição da perna do TPP se fossem encontrados componentes trincados; e instalação de um espaçador melhorado; conforme especificado em uma DA da Agência Europeia de Segurança da Aviação (EASA), que é incorporada por referência. Esta DA foi motivada por relatos de trincas nos componentes das pernas do TPP e pela determinação de que ações adicionais (incluindo inspeções, modificações e verificações) são necessárias para resolver a condição insegura. A FAA está emitindo esta DA para resolver a condição insegura nesses produtos.
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-03- 10, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). AD 2019-03-10 required repetitive detailed visual inspections of the main landing gear (MLG) leg components and replacement of the MLG leg if cracked components are found. This AD continues to require the actions required by AD 2019-03-10. For certain airplanes, this AD also requires modification of the MLG hinge arm by installing improved MLG hinge arm/barrel pins; an out-of-roundness check of removed pins; repetitive inspections of any affected pins and the associated connecting rod bushes, and replacement of the MLG leg if cracked components are found; and installation of an improved spacer; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in MLG leg components and a determination that additional actions (including inspections, modifications, and checks) are needed to address the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.Texto Completo da Diretiva
