This AD applies to all Airbus SAS airplanes identified in paragraphs (c)(1) through (4), certificated in any category.
(1) Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes.
(2) Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes.
(3) Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes.
(4) Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes.
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, - 114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, - 211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This AD was prompted by the absence of a requirement to remove a certain Emergency Procedure in the existing Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) after accomplishing a certain modification or replacement. This AD requires, for airplanes on which a certain modification or replacement is done, revising the AFM by removing a certain Emergency Procedure in the AFM, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all required actions and compliance times specified in, and in accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0309, dated December 19, 2019 (“EASA AD 2019-0309”).
(1) Where EASA AD 2019-0309 refers to its effective date, this AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(2) The “Remarks” section of EASA AD 2019-0309 does not apply to this AD.
(3) Where EASA AD 2019-0309 specifies paragraph (19) of EASA AD 2015-0135R3, for this AD, use paragraph (r) of AD 2017-16-12, except where paragraph (r) of AD 2017-16-12 refers to “the effective date of this AD,” use June 1, 2015 (the effective date of EASA AD 2015-0087).
Accomplishing the actions required by this AD on an airplane terminates all requirements of paragraph (j) of AD 2017-16-12 for that airplane only.
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.
