Models named: A318-111, -112, A319-111, -115, A320-214, A321-111, -211, -212, -213. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to the 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) Airbus Model A318-111 and -112 airplanes. (2) Airbus Model A319-111, -112, and -115 airplanes. (3) Airbus Model A320-214 airplanes. (4) Airbus Model A321-111, -112, -211, -212, and -213 airplanes.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD: Inspect to determine if any fan cowl door has a serial number 10029001 through 11092003 inclusive, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1062, dated July 28, 2014; or Goodrich Aerostructures Service Bulletin RA32071-151, dated June 11, 2014. A review of airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of the inspection required by this paragraph, provided those records can be relied upon for that purpose and the serial number can be positively identified by that review.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of cracked cadmium-plated lock nuts that attach the hinge to the fan cowl door. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking of the hinge lock nuts, which could result in separation of the hinge from the fan cowl door, the in-flight loss of the door, and consequent damage to the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
