Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

FAA / Federal Register · 2024-16049

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-08-08, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2022-08-08 requires repetitive special detailed inspections of certain double joggle areas on the fuselage and applicable on-condition actions. This proposed AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-08-08 and would add airplanes to the applicability, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
