FAA Issues New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A319-100, A320-200, and A321-100/200 Series Airplanes

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Airbus Model A319-100, A320-200, and A321-100 and -200 series airplanes, requiring a modification of the telescopic girt bar and the installation of placards to prevent the escape slide/raft from failing to deploy correctly during an emergency evacuation, which could result in injury to passengers or crew members.
