Models named: A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, A320-211, -212. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to the Airbus airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD, certificated in any category, except those on which Airbus modification (mod) 152637 has been embodied in production. (1) Airbus Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes, all manufacturer serial numbers (MSN). (2) Airbus Model A320-211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes, all MSN.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Before the accumulation of 48,000 total flight cycles or 96,000 total flight hours, whichever occurs first since the airplane's first flight, modify the 8 fastener locations in the longeron area (stringer 20A) below the emergency exit cut-outs on both right-hand (RH) and left-hand (LH)- sides, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1265, Revision 04, dated July 6, 2016.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report that fatigue cracking could appear at certain fastener locations in the longeron area below the emergency exit cut-outs. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracking at certain fastener locations in the longeron area below the emergency exit cut-outs, which could lead to failure of the fasteners and reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
