Applicability*9

This AD applies to the airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(4) of this AD, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial numbers. (1) Airbus Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes. (2) Airbus Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes.

Compliance

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

Required actions

This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2015-23-13, with new service information. Within 48 months after December 29, 2015 (the effective date of AD 2015-23-13), modify the pin programming to activate the stop rudder input warning (SRIW) logic, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1480, Revision 02, dated March 30, 2015; or Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1480, Revision 03, dated October 13, 2015. As of the effective date of this AD, use only Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1480, Revision 03, dated October 13, 2015.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a determination that, in specific flight conditions, the allowable load limits on the vertical tail plane could be reached and possibly exceeded. Exceeding allowable load limits could result in detachment of the vertical tail plane. We are issuing this AD to prevent detachment of the vertical tail plane and consequent loss of control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2015-23-13, Amendment 39-18330 (80 FR 73099, November 24, 2015) (“AD 2015-23-13”).
