Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-131, A320-232 and - 233, and A321-131 and -231 Series Airplanes

Streszczenie

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319-131, A320-232 and -233, and A321-131 and -231 series airplanes, that requires replacement of all titanium thrust links with steel thrust links. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of the titanium thrust links due to the life limit of the thrust links, which in combination with other failures, could result in the separation of an engine from the airplane.
