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 Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes; certificated in any category; manufacturer serial numbers through 0758 inclusive.

Compliance

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

Required actions

This paragraph restates the definition in paragraph (g) of AD 2017-22-07, with no changes. For the purpose of this AD, an “affected door” is a forward or aft cargo compartment door, having any part number listed in table 1 to paragraph (g) of this AD, except a cargo compartment door on which Airbus Service Bulletin A320-52-1042 or Airbus Service Bulletin A320-52-1170 is embodied. ER28DE18.008

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the frame forks and outer skin on the forward and aft cargo compartment doors are subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD), and a determination that a modification of the frame forks must be accomplished. We are issuing this AD to address cracks on the frame forks and outer skin on the forward and aft cargo compartment doors, which could lead to reduced structural integrity and failure of the cargo compartment door, possible decompression of the airplane, and injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2017-22-07, Amendment 39-19087 (82 FR 56158, November 28, 2017) (“AD 2017-22-07”).
