Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310-300 and A300-600R Series Airplanes

Özet

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A310-300 and A300-600R series airplanes, that requires installation of a new cover assembly, associated new drain and vent pipework, and a new electrical harness on the trimmable horizontal stabilizer for the fuel tank water scavenge motive pump. 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 fuel leakage from the seal of the water scavenge pumps, which, if not corrected, could result in leakage of fuel into fuselage areas not designed for fuel, and consequent potential for fuel to be in contact with a fuel ignition source.
