Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-13608 · Airbus Model A319 and A320 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A319 and A320 Series Airplanes
Model A319 and A320 series airplanes, certificated in any category; except those on which Airbus Modification 31888 has been accomplished.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319 and A320 series airplanes, that requires modifying the electrical bonding of the fuel return line in each wing between ribs 7 and 8. This action is necessary to reduce the potential for electrical arcing within the fuel tank due to insufficient electrical bonding, which could result in a fire or explosion in the fuel tank. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
