Dear Sir, dear Madam, Airbus reviewed the content on proposed rulemaking Docket n°FAA-2009-0431 and would like to comment as follows: paragraph (4) of NPRM provides instructions for airplanes on which the modification required by paragraph (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this AD is done at or before the accumulation of 6,000 total FC since first flight. However, as specified in Airbus SB A300-53-6005 R04, Airbus SB A310-53-2024 R05 and related MCAI, aeroplane modified prior to 6000FC are not affected by ISBs 53-6005 or 53-2024 requirements but shall apply ALI tasks 531919-01-1A. Indeed, repetitive inspections as specified in Airbus SB A300-53-6005R04, A310- 53-2024R05, subject to MCAI 2007-0297R1 requirements are applicable to aeroplane on which Airbus SB A300-53-6006 or A310-53-2025 has been embodied between 6000FC and 12000FC since first flight only. We are then kindly requesting FAA to revise paragraph (4) of NPRM FAA-2009- 0431 accordingly. Best regards, Valia Smith A300/A310/A300-600 Continued Airworthiness Engineer AIRBUS S.A.S.
