### ATA 05 Time Limits and Maintenance Checks – Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items – ALS Part 2 – Amendment

Manufacturer(s): Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie)

Applicability: A300, A310 and A300-600 aeroplane s, all certified models, all serial numbers.
Reason: The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT ALIs) are currently listed in Airbus ALI Documents, which are referenced in the A300, A310 and A300-600 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2. Airbus have recently revised the A300-600 and A310 ALI Documents, and these issues have been approved by EASA. The Airbus A300-600 ALI Document issue 13 and temporary revision (TR) 13.1 and the A310 ALI document issue 08 introduce more rest rictive maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations, which have been identified as mandatory actions for continued airworthiness. EASA AD 2009-0155 required compliance wi th the maintena nce requirements and associated airworthiness limitations defined in the following documents: - AIRBUS A300 ALI Document issue 04, - AIRBUS A310 ALI Document issue 07, and - AIRBUS A300-600 ALI Document issue 12. For the reasons described above, this EASA AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2009-0155, which is superseded, and requires compliance with the airworthiness limitations defined in the Airbus A300-600 ALI Document issue 13 and TR13.1, and the A310 ALI document issue 08.
