Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14281 · Airbus Model A320-111 Airplanes and Model A320-200 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A320-111 Airplanes and Model A320-200 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2005-19-16 R1. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes, certificated in any category; except those airplanes on which Airbus Modification 25513 has been accomplished in production.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A320-111 airplanes and Model A320-200 series airplanes. This AD requires installing a bonding strip between each of the two water scavenge jet pumps of the center fuel tank and the rear spar in section 21. This AD results from the results of fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are issuing this AD to prevent an ignition source for fuel vapor in the wing, which could result in fire or explosion in the center wing fuel tank.
You are responsible for having the actions required by this AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the actions have already been done.
Within 56 months after the effective date of this AD, install a bonding strip between each of the two water scavenge jet pumps of the center fuel tank and the rear spar in section 21, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-28-1067, Revision 02, dated January 27, 1997.
