AD 2020-05-17 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Applicability*9
This AD applies to Airbus SAS Model A318-112, A319-111, A319-112, A319-113, A319-114, A319-115, A319-131, A319-132, A319-133, A320-211, A320-212, A320-214, A320-216, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233, A320-251N, and A320-271N airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-0197, dated August 14, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0197”).
Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless already done.
Required actions
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0197.
Unsafe condition
This AD was prompted by a report of marginal clearance between certain fuel sensor covers on rib 24 and the crown of stringer 15 on both left-hand (LH) and right-hand (RH) wings. A possible contact between the shield and the stringer, and/or possible motion between the stringer and the shield, can make the gap more susceptible to sparking in case of lightning strike. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could create a source of ignition in a fuel tank vapor space, possibly resulting in a fire or explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
Affected ADs
None.
