### ATA 05 Time Limits and Maintenance Checks

– Certification Maintenance

Requirements

– ALS Part 3

– Amendment

Manufacturer(s): Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie)

Applicability: Airbus A310 and A300

- 600 aeroplanes, all certified models, all manufacturer serial numbers (MSN), and

Airbus A300F4

- 608ST aeroplanes, all MSN.

Reason: The airworthiness limitations for Airbus aeroplanes are currently published in Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) documents. The airworthiness limitations applicable to the A300

- 600 and A300

- 600ST Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR) were previously specified in the Airbus A300

- 600 CMR document referenced AI/ST5/829/85. DGAC France issued AD F

- 2005

- 123 (EASA approval 2005

- 6070) to require compliance to the requirements as specified in this document. Since that AD was issued, the CMR tasks are now specified in Airbus A300

- 600 and Airbus A310 ALS Part 3 documents , which are approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency ( EASA )

. Th ese document s introduce more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. Failure to comply with the maintenan ce requirements contained in the s e document s could result in an unsafe condition. For the reasons described above, this new AD retains the requirements of DGAC France AD F

- 2005

- 123, which is superseded, and requires the implementation of the new or more restrictive maintenance requirements as specified in Airbus A31 0 ALS Part 3 Revision 00 and A300

- 600 ALS Part 3 Revision 0 0 , as applicable to the aeroplane type/ model.E ASA AD No.: 2013
