Applies to Model A300 B2 and B4 series airplanes listed in Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300-25-138, Revision 8, dated June 27, 1983, certificated in any category. To prevent loss of fire protection due to separation of or damage to blowout panels in the ceiling and sidewalls of the forward cargo compartments, which could result in a degradation of the fire extinguishing capability in the aircraft, accomplish the following, unless previously accomplished: A. Inspect the forward cargo compartment decompression panels for condition and attachment in the panel cut-outs in accordance with the accomplishment instructions of Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300-25-138, Revision 8, dated June 27, 1983, according to the following schedule: (1) Daily, if Modifications 1878 and 2506, described in Airbus Industrie Service Bulletins A300-25-149, Revision 5, dated March 28, 1980, and A300-25-248, Revision 5, dated January 4, 1982, have not been incorporated; (2) Within the next 600 hours time in service after the effective date of this AD and at subsequent intervals not to exceed 600 flight hours in service, if Modifications 1878 and 2506 have been incorporated. B. If, during the inspections required by paragraph A. of this AD, damage to or separation of decompression panels is found, perform within the next 25 hours time of service from the last inspection the repair described in paragraph 2C of Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A300- 25-138, Revision 8. NOTE: Inspections and modifications accomplished in accordance with Amendment 39- 4070 constitute compliance with the requirements of paragraphs A. and B. of this Amendment. C.
