Airworthiness Directive · Amendment 39-11362 · Airbus Model A321 Series Airplanes
Airbus Model A321 Series Airplanes
Model A321 series airplanes, certificated in any category; except those on which Airbus Modification 25791 has been incorporated in production, or on which Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1130, dated June 17, 1997, or Revision 01, dated July 8, 1998, has been accomplished in service.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A321 series airplanes. This action requires reinforcement of the fuselage structure between frames 62 and 64. 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 loss of structural integrity of the rear part of the fuselage structure in the event of an undetected tail scrape during landing or takeoff.
