Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10360 · Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, - 214, -231, -232, and -233 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, - 214, -231, -232, and -233 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2004-03-06. Comply with the one in force.
Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 series airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A320-111, -211, -212, -214, -231, -232, and -233 series airplanes, that requires repetitive ultrasonic inspections to detect fatigue cracking in the wing/fuselage joint cruciform fittings, and corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracks on the wing/fuselage joint cruciform fittings, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the wing/fuselage.
