Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-9846 · Airbus Airplanes
Airbus Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2019-22-04. Comply with the one in force.
This AD applies to Airbus A320-111, A320-211, A320-212, A320-214, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233.
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 supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes, that currently requires inspections to detect chafing of the wire looms (bundles) in the wing and the horizontal stabilizer; and repair or replacement, protection, and realignment, if necessary. This amendment requires that those actions also be accomplished in certain areas of the main landing gear (MLG) bays. This amendment also requires installation of protective sleeves around the wire bundles, and realignment of bundles that are not guided centrally into the conduit end fittings, which constitutes terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This amendment is prompted by a report that electrical short circuiting could occur in the wire bundles in the MLG bays. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent such electrical short circuiting due to chafing of the wire bundles in the wing, horizontal stabilizer, or MLG bays.
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.
