Note: ForA300F4-605R post-mod 12699 and A300F4-622R aeroplane models, whose Limit ofValidity is30 000 Flight Cycles (FC), the requirements ofthis AD do not apply. A recent Wide spread Fatigue Damage (WFD) calculation on A300-600 aeroplanes has shown that areinforcement of the upper fuselage circumferential joint at FR 58 is necessary to enable the aeroplane to reach the Extended Service Goal (ESG). The failure of the circumferential joint ofthe upper fuselage could affect the structural integrity of the aeroplane. Forthe reasons described above, this AD requires the reinforcement ofthe affected fuselage frame buttjoint. 21 January 2010
