Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300-600 Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes, requiring repetitive ultrasonic inspections to detect cracks in the bolt holes and repair if necessary, following the discovery of fatigue cracks in the same area. The goal is to prevent reduced structural integrity of the wing spar due to fatigue cracks.
