AD: Airbus

AD NUMBER: 2006-09-12
MANUFACTURER: Airbus
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2006-09-12
SUMMARY:
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A300-600, A310-200, and A310-300 series airplanes. This AD requires modifying the forward outflow valve of the pressure regulation subsystem. This AD results from a report of accidents resulting in injuries occurring on in-service airplanes when crewmembers forcibly initiated opening of passenger/crewdoors against residual pressure, causing the doors to rapidly open. In these accidents, the buildup of residual pressure in the cabin was caused by the blockage of the outflow valve by an insulation blanket. We are issuing this AD to prevent an insulation blanket or other debris frombeing ingested into and jamming the forward outflow valve of the pressure regulation subsystem,which could lead to the inability to control cabin pressurization and adversely affect continuedsafe flight of the airplane.
