Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9522 · Airbus Airplanes
Airbus Airplanes
This AD applies to Airbus 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 A320-231 series airplanes, that requires modification of the fire wall of each engine. This amendment is prompted by a report of a fire in the engine of an in-service airplane due to the fire wall being improperly sealed during production. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent propagation of a fire through a gap (opening) in the fire wall in the event of an engine fire, as a result of improperly sealed fire wall.
