Models named: A318, A319, A320, A321. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 airplanes, certificated in any category, except airplanes having manufacturer serial numbers (MSN) 2155 and subsequent.

Compliance

You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done. Inspection/Related Investigative and Corrective Actions (f) Within 6,000 flight hours or 24 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever is first: Inspect to determine the part number (P/N) of the twin motor actuators in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-28-1122, Revision 01, including Appendix 01, dated April 11, 2006. (1) For airplanes having any actuator with P/N FRH010041 or P/N FRH010034, no further action is required by this paragraph. (2) For airplanes having any actuator with P/N HTE190001-2, where the actuator serial number is not identified in Appendix 01 of the service bulletin, no further action is required by this paragraph. (3) For airplanes having any actuator with P/N HTE190001 or HTE190001-1, do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions before further flight, in accordance with the service bulletin. (4) For airplanes have any actuator with P/N HTE190001-2, where the actuator serial number is identified in Appendix 01 of the service bulletin, do all applicable related investigative and corrective actions before further flight, in accordance with the service bulletin. Note 1: Airbus Service Bulletin A320-28-1122, Revision 01, dated April 11, 2006, refers to FR-HiTEMP Service Bulletin HTE190001-28-003, dated March 30, 2004, as an additional source of service information for determining the P/N of the twin motor actuators and accomplishing any related investigative and corrective actions. Acceptable for

Unsafe condition

This AD results from a report of a low pressure valve of the twin motor actuator found partially open, although the valve detection system indicated that the valve was closed. Investigation revealed that the locating pin in the actuator was too short to engage with the valve slot, resulting in incorrect alignment of the actuator and the drive assembly, causing the valve to remain partially open. We are issuing this AD to ensure that, in the event of an engine fire, the valve actuator functions properly to block the fuel flow to the engine and prevent an uncontrollable fire.
