FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directive for Airbus Models A318-100 to A321-200

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a new airworthiness directive for various Airbus models, requiring detailed inspections of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuator attachments to ensure their integrity and prevent potential failures. The proposed directive aims to address a lab test finding that the secondary load path's nut did not jam as expected, which could lead to uncontrolled movement of the horizontal stabilizer and loss of control of the airplane.
