Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-10764 · Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes
Model A320 series airplanes; equipped with a LORAL Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) F800 [part number (P/N) 17M800-251/-261], and on which Airbus Modification 24959 (Airbus Service Bulletin A320-31-1088, Revision 1, dated September 16, 1996) has not been accomplished; certificated in any category.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the existing mounting rack for the Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) with a new rack having improved damping, and installation of a new bracket for re-routing the wiring harness. 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 prevent the possible loss of data recorded on the DFDR as a result of vibrations and/or accelerations during flight.
