Applicability*9

Model A321 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified below: Model A321 series airplanes equipped with CFM engines, on which Airbus Modification 25199 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1045) has been installed, except for those on which Airbus Modification 25469 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320- 22-1054, dated May 28, 1996, or Revision 1, dated December 3, 1997) has been installed. or Model A321 series airplanes equipped with IAE engines, on which Airbus Modification 25200 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1046) has been installed, except for those on which Airbus Modification 26243 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320- 22-1062, dated October 6, 1997) has been installed. Note 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance in accordance with paragraph (c) of this AD. The request should include an assessment of the effect of the modification, alteration, or repair on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD; and, if the unsafe condition has not been eliminated, the request should include specific proposed actions to address it.

Compliance

Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously. To prevent the use of erroneous automatic roll-out guidance generated by the flight management and guidance computer, which could result in the airplane departing the runway upon landing, accomplish the following: (a) Within 10 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the Limitations Section of the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to prohibit automatic landings and Category III operations on runways with a magnetic orientation of 170 degrees through 190 degrees inclusive. This may be accomplished by inserting a copy of Airbus A319/320/321 Airplane Flight Manual Temporary Revision 9.99.99/44, Issue 2, dated March 3, 1998, into the AFM. Note 2: When the temporary revision specified in paragraph (a) of this AD has been incorporated into the general revisions of the AFM, the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the information contained in the general revision is identical to that specified in the applicable temporary revision cited in paragraph (a) of this AD. (b) Accomplishment of the software modification specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1054, Revision 1, dated December 3, 1997 (for airplanes equipped with CFM engines), or Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1062, dated October 6, 1997 (for airplanes equipped with IAE engines), as applicable, constitutes terminating action for the AFM revision required by paragraph (a) of this AD. After the software modification has been accomplished, the AFM limitation required by paragraph (a) of this AD may be removed from the AFM. (c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Operations Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116. [[Page 50505]] Note 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the International Branch, ANM-116. (d) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished. (e) The AFM revision shall be done in accordance with Airbus A319/320/321 Airplane Flight Manual Temporary Revision 9.99.99/44, Issue 2, dated March 3, 1998. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. Copies may be obtained from Airbus Industrie, 1 Rond Point Maurice Bellonte, 31707 Blagnac Cedex, France. Copies may be inspected at the FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, Washington; or at the Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, DC. Note 4: The subject of this AD is addressed in French airworthiness directive 98-226-119(B), dated June 17, 1998. (f) This amendment becomes effective on October 7, 1998. Issued in Renton, Washington, on September 2, 1998. Darrell M. Pederson, Acting Manager, Transport Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification Service.
