Compliance required as indicated, unless already accomplished.

To prevent reduction in brake performance, accomplish the following:

(a) Within the next 50 landings after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 50 landings, visually inspect the two rear attachment lugs of brake pedal position transmitter cast brace assembly, P/N A3241000000002 or A3241000000003, for cracks in accordance with Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300-32-264 dated May 27, 1980, or an FAA-approved equivalent. Report defects found to the Chief, Aircraft Certification Staff, Europe, Africa, and Middle East Office, c/o American Embassy, Brussels, Belgium. (Reporting approved by the Office of Management and Budget under OMB No. 04-R0174.)

(b) If a crack or cracks are found as a result of any inspection required by paragraph (a) of this AD, replace the brace assembly prior to further flight with a serviceable brace assembly.

(c) The inspections required by paragraph (a) of this AD may be discontinued after installation of a cast brace assembly modified in accordance with Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300-32-267 dated July 4, 1980, or an FAA approved equivalent.

(d) Airplanes may be ferried in accordance with FAR Sections 21.197 and 21.199 to a facility where inspections and repairs can be accomplished.

(e) If an equivalent means of compliance is used in complying with this AD, that equivalent must be approved by the Chief, Aircraft Certification Staff, Europe, Africa and Middle East Office, c/o American Embassy, Brussels, Belgium.

The manufacturer's specifications and procedures identified and described in this directive are incorporated herein and made a part hereof pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). All persons affected by this directive who have not already received these documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to Airbus Industrie, Airbus Support Division, BP 33, 31700 Blagnac, France. These documents may be examined at FAA Headquarters, Room 916, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, D.C.

This amendment becomes effective April 30, 1981, as to all persons except those persons to whom it was immediately effective by telegraphic AD T80-16-52, issued August 1, 1980, which contained this amendment.
