Applicability*9

This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes, certificated in any category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4) of this AD. (1) Model A318-111 and -112 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. (4) 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 2022-0120R1, dated June 30, 2022 (EASA AD 2022-0120R1).

Unsafe condition

This AD was prompted by reports of damaged lower lateral fittings of the 80VU rack and a determination that the compliance times must be revised. The FAA is issuing this AD to address damage or cracking of the 80VU fittings and supports, which could lead to possible disconnection of the cable harnesses to one or more computers, and if occurring during a critical phase of flight, could result in reduced control of the airplane.

Affected ADs

This AD replaces AD 2022-06-02, Amendment 39-21968 (87 FR 16094, March 22, 2022) (AD 2022-06-02).
