FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A300 and A310 Airplanes to Prevent Fuel Tank Explosion

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive for certain Airbus Model A300 B4-620, A310-304, A310-324, and A310-325 airplanes to prevent a potential fuel tank explosion. The proposed directive requires installing fused adaptors between the external wiring harness and the in-tank wiring at the connectors on the fuel tank wall of the auxiliary center tank.
