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 the following Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued on or before June 10, 2020: (1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes; (2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, and -153N airplanes; (3) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and (4) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, -251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes.

Compliance

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

Required actions

Revise the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, by incorporating task(s) and associated thresholds and intervals specified in paragraph (3) of European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2020-0219, dated October 12, 2020 (EASA AD 2020-0219), except you are required to incorporate task(s) and associated thresholds and intervals within 90 days after the effective date of this AD. Record a compliance time for the initial tasks of either the applicable “thresholds” incorporated by the requirements of paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0219 or 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever would occur later.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address a safety-significant latent failure (that is not annunciated), which, in combination with one or more other specific failures or events, could result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition.

Affected ADs

This AD affects AD 2020-22-16, Amendment 39-21312 (85 FR 70439, November 5, 2020) (AD 2020-22-16).
