ATA 05 Time Limits / Maintenance Checks – Damage Tolerant 

Airworthiness Limitation Items – ALS Part 2 – Amendment 

Manufacturer(s): Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie) 

Applicability: A300, A310 and A300-600 aeroplanes, all certified models, all serial numbers. 

Reason: 

The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Damage Tolerant Airworthiness 

Limitation Items (DT ALI) are currently listed in Airbus ALI Documents, which 

are referenced in the A300, A310 and A300-600 Airworthiness Limitations 

Section (ALS) Part 2. Airbus has recently revised the ALI Documents, which 

have been approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA): 

- AIRBUS A300 ALI Document issue 04, 

- AIRBUS A310 ALI Document issue 07 and 

- AIRBUS A300-600 ALI Document issue 12. 

The actions contained in these revised documents, which introduce more 

restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations, have 

been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. EASA 

issued ADs 2006-0071, 2006-0260 and 2006-0374 to require compliance with 

the maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations 

defined in previous issues of these Airbus ALI Documents. 

For the reason described above, this EASA AD supersedes existing EASA 

ADs 2006-0071, 2006-0260 and 2006-0374 and requires an update to the 

approved aircraft maintenance programme and compliance with the 

maintenance requirements and associated airworthiness limitations defined in 

the Airbus ALI Documents listed above.
