Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes, that requires detailed visual inspections to detect cracking of a certain fuselage frame, and repair, if necessary. This AD also provides for an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by reports of a fatigue crack found initiating at hole ``I'' of frame 47 on two of these airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
