Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9068 · Airbus SAS Airplanes
Airbus SAS Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus SAS A320-111, A320-211, A320-231.
The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-111, -211, and -231 airplanes, that requires modification of the currently installed one-stage shock absorbers on the main landing gear to two-stage shock absorbers. This amendment is prompted by the results of an evaluation of the air-to-ground sensing logic relative to the operation of other airplane systems during landing in adverse weather conditions. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent a delay in sensing by the air-to-ground logic system that the airplane is on the ground, which could prevent the airplane from achieving the landing distances specified in the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM).
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.
