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 all Airbus SAS airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD and certificated in any category. (1) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. (2) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes. (3) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 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 2021-0256, dated November 16, 2021 (EASA AD 2021-0256).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by the determination that fatigue cracking may occur at the left-hand and right-hand wing manhole access panel attachment holes in the bottom wing skin panels 2, between rib 13 and rib 23, on airplanes with Sharklets or its structural reinforcements installed. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could lead to crack propagation, possibly resulting in reduced structural integrity of the wings.

Affected ADs

None.
