Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 106 / Thursday, June 1, 2000 / Proposed Rules 34995

Airbus Industrie: Docket 97–NM–184–AD.

Supersedes AD 85–07–09, Amendment

39–5033.

Applicability: Model A300 B2 and B4

series airplanes, manufacturer serial numbers

003 through 156 inclusive, certificated in any

category.

Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane

identified in the preceding applicability

provision, regardless of whether it has been

modified, altered, or repaired in the area

subject to the requirements of this AD. For

airplanes that have been modified, altered, or

repaired so that the performance of the

requirements of this AD is affected, the

owner/operator must request approval for an

alternative method of compliance in

accordance with paragraph (f) of this AD. The

request should include an assessment of the

effect of the modification, alteration, or repair

on the unsafe condition addressed by this

AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been

eliminated, the request should include

specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless

accomplished previously.

To prevent rapid decompression of the

airplane due to bonding delamination and

cracking of the fuselage, accomplish the

following:

Restatement of Requirements of AD 85–07–

09

Delamination Inspections of Longitudinal

Lap and Circumferential Joints

(a) Except as required by paragraph (d) of

this AD: Prior to the threshold limits

specified in Table 1 of Airbus Service

Bulletin A300–53–148, Revision 6, dated

October 10, 1984, or within 6 months after

May 13, 1985 (the effective date of AD 85–

07–09), whichever occurs later, inspect the

fuselage longitudinal lap joints and

circumferential joints for bonding

delamination, in accordance with the service

bulletin.

(1) If no delamination is detected, repeat

these inspections in accordance with the

schedule shown in Table 1 of the service

bulletin.

(2) If delamination is detected during any

inspection, prior to further flight, perform the

actions indicated in Figure 3, ‘‘Follow-up

Action,’’ of the service bulletin.

Corrosion and Crack Inspections of

Longitudinal Lap and Circumferential Joints

(b) Except as required by paragraph (d) of

this AD: Prior to the threshold limits

specified in Figure 1, ‘‘Inspection Program,’’

of Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–178,

Revision 4, dated October 10, 1984, or within

6 months after May 13, 1985, whichever

occurs later, visually inspect for corrosion

and cracks, and repair if necessary, the

bonded longitudinal lap joints and

circumferential joints specified in Figure 1 of

the service bulletin, in accordance with the

service bulletin. Repeat the inspections

thereafter in accordance with the schedule

shown in Figure 1 of the service bulletin.

Delamination Inspections of Stringers and

Doublers

(c) Except as required by paragraph (d) of

this AD: Prior to the threshold limits

specified in Figure 1, ‘‘Inspection

Frequency,’’ of Airbus Service Bulletin

A300–53–149, Revision 6, dated October 10,

1984, or within 6 months after May 13, 1985,

whichever occurs later, inspect for

debonding, and repair, if necessary, bonded

stringers and bonded doublers in the area

between frame 1 and frame 18 and between

frame 40 and frame 80 on all airplanes up to

and including serial number 156, and in the

area between frame 18 and frame 40 on all

airplanes up to and including serial number

104. Repeat the inspections thereafter at

intervals specified in Figure 1 of the service

bulletin, except for repaired areas. The

inspections of stringers are divided into three

areas, as indicated in Figure 2 of the service

bulletin, with the following options:

(1) Inspection in Area 1 is not required if

Modification No. 2904, described in Airbus

Service Bulletin A300–53–146, dated

November 28, 1980, has been incorporated.

(2) Preventive riveting of stringers located

in Area 2 in accordance with Airbus Service

Bulletin A300–53–197, dated October 10,

1984, allows for an extension of the interval

of subsequent repetitive inspections to the

interval required for Area 3.

New Requirements of This AD

Later Service Bulletin Revisions

(d) After the effective date of this new AD,

only the following service bulletin revisions

shall be used for compliance thresholds and

intervals and for accomplishment

instructions for the actions required by this

AD, as specified in paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2),

and (d)(3) of this AD. For any airplane that,

as of the effective date of this AD, has

exceeded a revised threshold or interval for

any specified action, accomplish that action

within 6 months after the effective date of

this AD.

(1) Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–148,

Revision 11, dated September 8, 1998, shall

be used for the requirements of paragraph (a)

of this AD. For corrective actions and followon inspections, Figure 5, ‘‘Follow-up

date of this AD, modify the bonded

longitudinal lap joints in accordance with

Airbus Service Bulletin A300–53–0209,

Revision 10, dated July 5, 1999.

Accomplishment of the modification

terminates the repetitive inspections required

by paragraph (a) of this AD for stringers 29

and 35 in section 18 only.

adjustment of the compliance time that

provides an acceptable level of safety may be

used if approved by the Manager,
