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 the Airbus SAS airplanes specified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (3) of this AD, certificated in any category, as identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2022-0026, dated February 16, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0026). (1) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. (2) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, and -271N airplanes. (3) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, and -253N 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 2022-0026.

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by a report that during re-engineering of galley G5, a 9G forward full scale qualification test was performed, and the door of the waste compartment opened before the required load was reached, and by reports of finding container/galley end stop bumpers damaged in service. This AD was also prompted by the determination that additional airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition. The FAA is issuing this AD to address potential failure of the galley door and release of waste bins during a rejected take-off or an emergency landing, and potential container detachment from the galley under certain forward loading conditions, possibly resulting in damage to the airplane and injury to occupants.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2019-26-11, Amendment 39-21022 (85 FR 6755, February 6, 2020) (AD 2019-26-11); and AD 2021-23-15, Amendment 39-21813 (86 FR 68894, December 6, 2021) (AD 2021-23-15).
