Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10678 · Airbus Model A319, A320, A321, A300, A310, A300-600, A330, and A340 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A319, A320, A321, A300, A310, A300-600, A330, and A340 Series Airplanes
Superseded. A later AD replaced this one: AD 2001-15-10. Comply with the one in force.
All Model A319, A320, A321, A300, A310, A300-600, A330, and A340 series airplanes, certificated in any category.
This document publishes in the Federal Register an amendment adopting Airworthiness Directive (AD) T98-15-51 that was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators of all Airbus Model A319, A320, A321, A300, A310, A300-600, A330, and A340 series airplanes by individual telegrams. This AD requires an initial and repetitive in- flight operational checks of the alternate braking system, and replacement of the braking dual distribution valve (BDDV) with a serviceable part, if necessary. This action is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the alternate braking system, which could result in the airplane overrunning the end of the runway during landing.
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.
