Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 Series Airplanes

概要

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A310, and A300-600 series airplanes, that requires a one-time operational test of the fire shut- off valves (FSOV's) to determine if the FSOV's are functioning correctly, and replacement of failed parts with new or serviceable parts. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the FSOV's to close, which could result in failure of the engine fire shut- off system, and consequent inability to extinguish an engine fire.
