Models named: A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, -233. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers, except those on which Airbus modification (mod) 24591 has been embodied in production.
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (a) of AD 2004-19-11, with a change to acceptable service information. For airplanes having manufacturer's serial numbers (MSNs) 003 through 008 inclusive, and 010 through 021 inclusive, except airplanes modified as specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A320-57-1089, dated December 22, 1996; Revision 01, dated April 17, 1997; Revision 02, dated November 6, 1998; or Revision 03, dated February 9, 2001: Prior to the accumulation of 12,000 total flight cycles, or within 500 flight cycles after June 11, 1993 (the effective date of AD 93-08-15, Amendment 39-8563 (58 FR 27923, May 12, 1993)), whichever occurs later, modify the inner rear spar web of the wing in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-57-1004, Revision 1, dated September 24, 1992; or Revision 2, dated June 14, 1993. As of the effective date of this AD, only Airbus Service Bulletin A320-57-1004, Revision 2, dated June 14, 1993, may be used for the actions required by this paragraph.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking of the inner rear spar of the wing and also by a determination that the modification of the inner rear spar is necessary to address the unsafe condition. We are issuing this AD to prevent fatigue cracking of the inner rear spar, which may lead to reduced structural integrity of the wing and the main landing gear (MLG).
Affected ADs
This AD replaces AD 2004-19-11, Amendment 39-13805 (69 FR 58828, October 1, 2004) (“AD 2004-19-11”).
