## Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Airbus Model A300 B2-1C, B2-203, B2K-3C, B4-2C, B4-103, and B4-203 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time inspection of the space between the fuel quantity indication (FQI) probes and any adjacent structures for minimum clearance, and corrective action, if necessary. This action is necessary to prevent the possibility of electrical arcing to the fuel tank if the airplane should be struck by lightning. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
