Models named: A318-111, -112, -121, -122, A319-111, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132. Read the applicability below — it usually turns on serial or part numbers too.

Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD, certificated in any category. (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes. (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. (3) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 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, EASA AD 2020-0258, dated November 18, 2020; corrected November 19, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0258).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of cracks that were found on main landing gear (MLG) sliding tubes after improperly performed magnetic particle inspections of the MLG sliding tubes were done. The FAA is issuing this AD to address cracks on the MLG sliding tubes, which could cause MLG sliding tube fracture, and could result in the MLG collapsing, damage to the airplane, and injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2019-03-18, Amendment 39-19570 (84 FR 7804, March 5, 2019) (AD 2019-03-18).
