Models named: A319-151N, -153N, A320-251N, -252N, -253N, A321-251N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all of the Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD. (1) Model A319-151N and -153N airplanes. (2) Model A320-251N, -252N, and -253N airplanes. (3) Model A321-251N, -252N, -253N, -251NX, -252NX, and -253NX airplanes.

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, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0176, dated August 5, 2020 (“EASA AD 2020-0176”).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report indicating that Kathon FP 1.5 biocide added to fuel and running through an airplane's engines can lead to engine performance degradation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address airplanes operated with fuel mixed with Kathon FP 1.5 biocide, which could result in reduced engine performance, resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Affected ADs

None.
