This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD 2012-23-10, with no changes. Except as provided by paragraph (i) of this AD, within 36 months after December 31, 2012 (the effective date of AD 2012-23-10): Modify the escape slide rafts that have a part number (P/N) specified in figure 1 to paragraphs (g), (j)(1), and (j)(2) of this AD, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-25-1723, dated December 17, 2010 (for Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes); or Airbus Service Bulletin A320-25-1724, dated December 17, 2010 (for Model A318 series airplanes). Figure 1 to Paragraphs ( g ), ( j )(1), and ( j )(2) of This AD—Escape Slide Rafts     Air Cruisers and Aerazur Escape Slide Rafts Part No. if Fitted With a Reservoir and Valve Assembly P/N D18309-105 or P/N D18309-205 D30664-105 D30665-105 D30664-107 D30665-107 D30664-109 D30665-109 D30664-305 D30665-305 D30664-307 D30665-307 D30664-309 D30665-309 D30664-311 D30665-311

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of the escape raft inflation system not deploying when activated due to the rotation of the cable guide in a direction which resulted in jamming of the inflation control cable. We are issuing this AD to prevent non-deployment of the escape slide raft, which could result in delayed evacuation from the airplane during an emergency and consequent injury to passengers.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2012-23-10, Amendment 39-17266 (77 FR 70369, November 26, 2012) (“AD 2012-23-10”).
