Abstract
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-05-13, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). AD 2023-05-13 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-13, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2023-05-13 and would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2023-05-13, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R,
and F4-600R series airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F
airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). AD
2023-05-13 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-13, the FAA
has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions
in AD 2023-05-13 and would require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation
by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2023-05-13, Amendment 39-22382 (88 FR 20749,
April 7, 2023) (AD 2023-05-13), for all Airbus SAS Model A300-600
series airplanes. AD 2023-05-13 was prompted by an MCAI originated by
EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union. EASA issued AD 2022-0173, dated August 24, 2022 (EASA
AD 2022-0173) (which corresponds to FAA AD 2023-05-13), to correct an
unsafe condition.
AD 2023-05-13 requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2023-05-13 to
address fatigue damage in principal structural elements. AD 2023-05-13
specifies that accomplishing the revision required by that AD
terminates certain requirements of AD 2018-18-19, Amendment 39-19398
(83 FR 47056, September 18, 2018) (AD 2018-18-19). This proposed AD
would therefore continue to allow that terminating action.
AD 2018-18-19 applies to all Airbus SAS Model A300 and A310 series
airplanes; and Model A300-600 series airplanes. AD 2023-05-13 applies
only to Airbus SAS Model A300-600 series airplanes, and this proposed
AD would apply only to Airbus SAS Model A300-600 series airplanes.
Therefore, this proposed AD would terminate the requirements of AD
2018-18-19 for Airbus SAS Model A300-600 series airplanes only.
Actions Since AD 2023-05-13 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2023-05-13, EASA superseded AD 2022-0173
and issued EASA AD 2024-0164, dated August 21, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0164)
(referred to after this as the MCAI), for all Airbus SAS Model A300 B4-
601, B4-603, B4-620, B4-622, B4-605R, B4-622R, C4-620, C4-605R Variant
F, F4-605R, F4-622R, and F4-608ST airplanes. Model A300 C4-620 and F4-
608ST airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and are not included on
the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this proposed AD therefore does
not include those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states that
new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed.
The MCAI also states that EASA revised EASA AD 2017-0204 (which
corresponds to FAA AD 2018-18-19) to remove Model A300-600 series
airplanes from the applicability. Accomplishing the actions specified
in this proposed AD would therefore terminate all requirements of AD
2018-18-19 for Model A300-600 series airplanes only.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address fatigue damage in principal
structural elements. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane You may examine
the MCAI in the AD docket at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2025-
0351.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024-0164. This material specifies new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations for airplane structures and
safe life limits.
This proposed AD would also require EASA AD 2022-0173, dated August
24, 2022, which the Director of the Federal Register approved for
incorporation by reference as of May 12, 2023 (88 FR 20749, April 7,
2023).
This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
FAA's Determination
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in
[[Page 13109]]
the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this
State of Design Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe
condition described in the MCAI referenced above. The FAA is issuing
this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2023-05-13.
This proposed AD would also require revising the existing maintenance
or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are specified in EASA
AD 2024-0164 already described, as proposed for incorporation by
reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2024-0164 are identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections).
Compliance with these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in
the areas addressed by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval for an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) according to
paragraph (o)(1) of this proposed AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to retain the IBR of EASA AD 2022-0173 and incorporate
EASA AD 2024-0164 by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD
would, therefore, require compliance with EASA AD 2022-0173 and EASA AD
2024-0164 through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in EASA AD 2022-0173 or EASA AD 2024-0164 does not mean that
operators need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this proposed AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD
2022-0173 or EASA AD 2024-0164. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0164
for compliance will be available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA-2025-0351 after the FAA final rule is
published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process
The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections) or intervals may be used unless the actions and intervals
are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in
the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional AD Provisions.'' This new format
includes a ``New Provisions for Alternative Actions and Intervals''
paragraph that does not specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may
still request an AMOC to use an alternative action or interval.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 128 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2023-05-13 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
