✈️FAA Proposes Airworthiness Directives for Airbus Aircraft
Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
Summary
The FAA is revising a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-25-14, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This action revises the NPRM by adding a prohibition against accomplishing a repair using certain structural repair manual (SRM) tasks. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions would impose an additional burden over those in the NPRM, the FAA is requesting comments on this SNPRM.

The proposed regulation impacts airworthiness standards for specific Airbus aircraft models, requiring compliance that could incur costs for businesses operating these aircraft. The estimated compliance cost of around $1,190 per aircraft, affecting approximately 1,650 U.S.-registered airplanes, indicates significant financial implications for operators.
