Abstract
The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-20-12, AD 2018-17-21, and AD 2019-14-04, which apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2019- 14-04 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations and terminates the provisions of AD 2018-17-21, which in turn terminates the provisions of AD 2016-20-12. Since the FAA issued AD 2019-14-04, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2016-20-12, AD 2018-17-21, and AD 2019-14-04, which apply to certain
Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2019-
14-04 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations and terminates the provisions of AD 2018-17-21, which in
turn terminates the provisions of AD 2016-20-12. Since the FAA issued
AD 2019-14-04, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require
revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable,
to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2019-14-04, Amendment 39-19682 (84 FR 35812, July
25, 2019) (AD 2019-14-04), for certain Airbus SAS Model A318, A319,
A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2019-14-04 was prompted by an MCAI
originated by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States
of the European Union. EASA issued AD 2018-0231, dated October 25, 2018
(EASA AD 2018-0231) (which corresponds to FAA AD 2019-14-04), to
correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2019-14-04 requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive fuel airworthiness limitations. The FAA issued AD 2019-14-
04 to address the potential of ignition sources inside fuel tanks,
which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in a
fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane. AD 2019-14-04
specifies that accomplishing the revision required by that AD
terminates all requirements of AD 2018-17-21, Amendment 39-19375 (83 FR
44209, August 30, 2018) (AD 2018-17-21). AD 2018-17-21 specifies that
accomplishing the revision required by that AD terminates all
requirements of AD 2016-20-12, Amendment 39-18678 (81 FR 72507, October
20, 2016) (AD 2016-20-12). This proposed AD would supersede AD 2016-20-
12 and AD 2018-17-21 as those ADs have already been terminated.
Actions Since AD 2019-14-04 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2019-14-04, EASA superseded AD 2018-0231
and issued EASA AD 2024-0047, dated February 19, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-
0047) (referred to after this as the MCAI), for all Airbus SAS Model
A318-111, -112, -121, and -122 airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -
114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; Model
A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -
253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -
131, -211, -212, -213, -231, 232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N,
-253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. Model A320-215
airplanes are not certified by the FAA and are not included on the U.S.
type certificate data sheet; this proposed AD therefore does not
include those airplanes in the applicability. The MCAI states that new
or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed.
Airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original
export certificate of airworthiness issued after November 6, 2023, must
comply with the airworthiness limitations specified as part of the
approved type design and referenced on the type certificate data sheet;
this proposed AD therefore does not include those airplanes in the
applicability.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address the potential of ignition
sources inside fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel
vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2024-2138.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2024-0047. This material specifies new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations for fuel airworthiness
limitations items and critical design configuration control limitations
(CDCCLs).
This proposed AD would also require Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS), Part 5, Fuel Airworthiness
Limitations (FAL), Revision 05, dated June 13, 2018, which the Director
of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of
August 29, 2019 (84 FR 35812, July 25, 2019).
This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.
FAA's Determination
This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.
Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM
This proposed AD would retain all of the requirements of AD 2019-
14-04. This proposed AD would also require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate
additional new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations, which are
specified in EASA AD 2024-0047 already described, as proposed for
incorporation by reference. Any differences with EASA AD 2024-0047 are
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD.
This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control
[[Page 73318]]
Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance with these actions and CDCCLs is
required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have been previously
modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed by this proposed
AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the actions described in
the revisions. In this situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the
operator must request approval for an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) according to paragraph (l)(1) of this proposed AD.
Explanation of Required Compliance Information
In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has been
coordinating this process with manufacturers and CAAs. As a result, the
FAA proposes to incorporate EASA AD 2024-0047 by reference in the FAA
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with
EASA AD 2024-0047 through that incorporation, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a
particular section in EASA AD 2024-0047 does not mean that operators
need comply only with that section. For example, where the AD
requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance times,''
compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the section
titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in EASA AD 2024-
0047. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0047 for compliance will be
available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2024-2138 after the FAA final rule is published.
Airworthiness Limitation ADs Using the New Process
The FAA's process of incorporating by reference MCAI ADs as the
primary source of information for compliance with corresponding FAA ADs
has been limited to certain MCAI ADs (primarily those with service
bulletins as the primary source of information for accomplishing the
actions required by the FAA AD). However, the FAA is now expanding the
process to include MCAI ADs that require a change to airworthiness
limitation documents, such as airworthiness limitation sections.
For these ADs that incorporate by reference an MCAI AD that changes
airworthiness limitations, the FAA requirements are unchanged.
Operators must revise the existing maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, to incorporate the information specified in the new
airworthiness limitation document. The airworthiness limitations must
be followed according to 14 CFR 91.403(c) and 91.409(e).
The previous format of the airworthiness limitation ADs included a
paragraph that specified that no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions,
intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an AMOC in accordance with the
procedures specified in the AMOCs paragraph under ``Additional AD
Provisions.'' This new format includes a ``New Provisions for
Alternative Actions, Intervals, and CDCCLs'' paragraph that does not
specifically refer to AMOCs, but operators may still request an AMOC to
use an alternative action, interval, or CDCCL.
Costs of Compliance
The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 1,920 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD:
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2019-14-04 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new proposed
actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).
Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
(2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
(3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

issuing this AD to address the potential of ignition sources inside
fuel tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could
result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Retained Revision of the Existing Maintenance or Inspection
Program, With No Changes
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (g) of AD
2019-14-04, with no changes. For airplanes with an original
airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of
airworthiness issued on or before June 13, 2018: Within 90 days
after August 29, 2019 (the effective date of AD 2019-14-04), revise

or inspection program required by paragraph (i) of this AD
terminates the requirements of this paragraph.
(h) Retained Restrictions on Alternative Actions, Intervals, and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs), With a New
Exception
This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (h) of AD
2019-14-04, with a new exception. Except as required by paragraph
(i) of this AD, after the maintenance or inspection program has been
revised as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative
actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless
the actions, intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an alternative
method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (l)(1) of this AD.
(i) New Revision of the Existing Maintenance or Inspection Program
Except as specified in paragraph (j) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD

(5) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD
2024-0047.
(k) New Provisions for Alternative Actions, Intervals, and CDCCLs
After the existing maintenance or inspection program has been
revised as required by paragraph (i) of this AD, no alternative
actions (e.g., inspections), intervals, and CDCCLs are allowed
unless they are approved as specified in the provisions of the
``Ref. Publications'' section of EASA AD 2024-0047.
(l) Additional AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Validation Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office, as
