Résumé
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Industrie Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 series airplanes, that requires inspection of certain landing gear brakes for wear and replacement if the wear limits prescribed in this AD are not met, and incorporation of the specified wear limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program. This amendment is prompted by an accident in which a transport category airplane executed a rejected takeoff (RTO) and was unable to stop on the runway due to worn brakes; and the subsequent review of allowable brake wear limits for all transport category airplanes. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the loss of brake effectiveness during a high energy RTO.
