Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes

This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes. This proposal would require modification of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer (THS). This proposal is prompted by a report of leakage from some of the hydraulic pipe fittings after a lightning strike. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent such leakage from hydraulic pipe fittings, which could result in the loss of the pilot's ability to control the moveable surfaces of the THS.
