AD 2013-16-09 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes
Models named: A318-111, -112, -121, -122, A319-111, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), and (c)(4) of this AD, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes. (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. (3) Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. (4) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes.
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.
Required actions
At the later of the compliance times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (g)(2) of this AD: Do an inspection to determine the configuration (modification status) of the airplane and identify the part number of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) LGCIU and MLG door actuators. A review of the airplane delivery or maintenance records is acceptable for compliance with the requirements of this paragraph provided the airplane configuration and installed components can be conclusively determined from that review. (1) Prior to the accumulation of 800 total flight cycles since first flight of the airplane. (2) Within 14 days after the effective date of this AD.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of a main landing gear (MLG) failing to extend during landing, and a determination that a certain configuration of landing gear control interface unit (LGCIU) and actuators may result in masking of centralized fault display system messages that are necessary to mitigate risks associated with failure of MLG extension or down-locking. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct such a configuration, which could prevent the full extension or down-locking of the MLG, possibly resulting in MLG collapse during landing and consequent damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.
Affected ADs
This AD affects AD 2011-13-11, Amendment 39-16734 (76 FR 37241, June 27, 2011), by providing an alternative method to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (j) and (l) of AD 2011-13-11.

You just looked this one up by hand
TrackAD holds all 12,278 of them and matches them against the aircraft you actually look after — airframe, engine, propeller and appliances in one pass — then works out what falls due and when.
- Bring your existing list in from a spreadsheet Paste the rows straight out of Excel. Headers like C/W Date and N/A are read for you.
- A copy that works when this does not One file. No internet, no login, no this software running. For the morning something has to be produced and the computer is not cooperating.
- $5 a month, or $50 a year Up to 50 aircraft on either.
