Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-113 and -114 Series Airplanes; and Model A320-111, -211, and -212 Series Airplanes

Resumen

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A319-113 and -114 series airplanes; and Model A320-111, -211, and -212 series airplanes; that requires either a review of airplane maintenance or delivery records, or one-time inspection of the hydraulic actuators located in the pivot doors of both thrust reversers to identify the part number, and eventual replacement of certain actuators with modified or new actuators. This action is necessary to prevent jamming of a thrust reverser door during operation, or inadvertent deployment of a thrust reverser door in- flight, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
