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 all Airbus airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this AD. (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes. (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. (3) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. (4) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes.

Compliance

Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.

Required actions

For airplanes equipped with a Transponder, Terrain and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (T3CAS) unit having a part number and associated software standard identified in paragraph (g)(1), (g)(2), or (g)(3) of this AD: Within 30 days after the effective date of this AD, do an on-ground power cycle (reset) of the T3CAS, in accordance with the instructions of Airbus Alert Operators Transmission A34N004-13, Revision 01, dated March 19, 2014. Repeat the on-ground power cycle thereafter at intervals not to exceed 120 hours of continuous power of the T3CAS. (1) Part number 9005000-10000 and software standard 1.0. (2) Part number 9005000-10101 and software standard 1.1. (3) Part number 9005000-10202 and software standard 1.2.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of spurious terrain ahead warning system (TAWS) alerts during approach and takeoff. We are issuing this AD to prevent spurious TAWS alerts, which could increase flightcrew workload during critical landing or take off phases, and result in reduced control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.

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.
