Airbus Model A321 Series Airplanes
Model A321 series airplanes, certificated in any category, as identified below: Model A321 series airplanes equipped with CFM engines, on which Airbus Modification 25199 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1045) has been installed, except for those on which Airbus Modification 25469 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320- 22-1054, dated May 28, 1996, or Revision 1, dated December 3, 1997) has been installed. or Model A321 series airplanes equipped with IAE engines, on which Airbus Modification 25200 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320-22-1046) has been installed, except for those on which Airbus Modification 26243 (reference Airbus Service Bulletin A320- 22-1062, dated October 6, 1997) has been installed.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A321 series airplanes. This action requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to prohibit automatic landings and Category III operations on runways with a magnetic orientation of 170 degrees through 190 degrees inclusive. This amendment also provides for optional terminating action for the AFM revision. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent the use of erroneous automatic roll-out guidance generated by the flight management and guidance computer, which could result in the airplane departing the runway upon landing.
