• Abstract:
  This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, A310, and A320 series airplanes, that currently requires an inspection of the landing gear brakes for wear, and replacement if the specified wear limits are not met. That AD also requires incorporation of the specified wear limits into the FAA-approved maintenance inspection program. This amendment requires that certain wear limits that are dependent on brake stack weight be used in conjunction with specified brake stack weights, and that maximum allowable brake wear limits for additional brake units be incorporated into the FAA-approved maintenance program. This amendment is prompted by a report that some brakes that are subject to the requirements of the existing AD have not been removed from service and by the determination of the maximum allowable brake wear limits for additional brake unit part numbers. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent the loss of brake effectiveness during a high energy rejected takeoff.
