A proposal is not in force. If adopted, it becomes an AD, usually with changes. Only the Federal Register edition is official.

Summary

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A300-600 series airplanes. This proposal would require removal of the fuel level sensing amplifier (FLSA) of the trim tank system, modification of the polarization pin code in the electronics bay, and installation of a new, improved FLSA. This proposal is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent continuous aft transfer of fuel due to the FLSA not supplying electrical power to the trim tank overflow sensor, which could result in potential loss of fuel during flight.

The resulting AD
