Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-14311 · Airbus Model A319-100 Series Airplanes; Model A320-111 Series Airplanes; Model A320-200 Series Airplanes; and Model A321-100 and -200 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A319-100 Series Airplanes; Model A320-111 Series Airplanes; Model A320-200 Series Airplanes; and Model A321-100 and -200 Series Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211 and -231 airplanes; certificated in any category; except those modified in production by Airbus Modification 30062.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus airplane models, as specified above. This AD requires modifying the parking brake system to automatically restore the normal brake if the parking brake pressure decreases below a certain threshold. This AD results from a report of failure of the parking brake while the airplane was on the holding point of the runway before takeoff, leading to a runway departure. We are issuing this AD to ensure normal braking is available to prevent possible runway departure in the event of failure of the parking brake.
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 52 months after the effective date of this AD: Modify the parking brake system by accomplishing all the actions specified in the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-32-1201, Revision 02, dated February 1, 2005.
Modifications accomplished before the effective date of this AD in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-32-1201, Revision 01, dated May 29, 2002; are considered acceptable for compliance with the corresponding modification required by paragraph (f) of this AD.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
