FAA Adopts New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A300 and A310 Airplanes

Summary

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300-600, A310-200, and A310-300 series airplanes, requiring inspections for damage to elevators and corrective actions if necessary, following reports of debonded skins on the elevators. The goal is to detect and correct debonding, which could compromise the structural integrity of an elevator and the airplane's controllability.
