Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 series airplanes, that requires modification of the brake steering control unit (BSCU). This amendment is prompted by reports that the BSCU on these airplanes allowed a 90- degree rotation of the nose gear after landing, which resulted in significant damage to the wheels. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the nose gear tires and wheels and the loss of directional control of the airplane while it is on the ground.
