Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-24- 05, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2022-24-05 required repetitive inspections of certain galleys for corrosion of trolley retainer aluminum blocks and delamination of the upper panel of the trolley compartment, and applicable corrective action. This AD was prompted by the list of affected galleys being revised, and a new modification that was developed to restore the design integrity of the affected galleys. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2022-24-05, provides optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections, revises the list of affected parts, and prohibits the installation of affected parts under certain conditions; as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
