Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes, certificated in any category, having manufacturer serial numbers 1035 and 1384 inclusive.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This action requires an in-situ one-time detailed visual inspection of Draeger Type I oxygen containers, located in the passenger service units, and Draeger Type II oxygen containers, located in the utility areas, for the presence of foam pads. This action also requires the installation of a new foam pad, if necessary; and other actions to ensure proper operations of the masks. This action is necessary to prevent failure of the oxygen containers to deliver oxygen to the passengers in the event of a rapid decompression or cabin depressurization. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
