Abstract
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09- 01, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, - 233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model A321 series airplanes. AD 2023-09-01 was prompted by a report that certain overheat detection system (OHDS) sensing elements installed at certain positions might not properly detect thermal bleed leak events due to a quality escape during the manufacturing process. AD 2023-09-01 required a one-time detailed inspection of each affected part installed at an affected position and replacement if necessary and prohibited the installation of affected parts at affected positions. Since the FAA issued AD 2023-09-01, a new airplane model (A321-253NY) has been certified by EASA, on which affected parts could be installed in service. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-09-01, and revises the applicability to include Model A321-253NY airplanes, 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.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023-09-
01, which applied to all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model
A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, -
233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model
A321 series airplanes. AD 2023-09-01 was prompted by a report that
certain overheat detection system (OHDS) sensing elements installed at
certain positions might not properly detect thermal bleed leak events
due to a quality escape during the manufacturing process. AD 2023-09-01
required a one-time detailed inspection of each affected part installed
at an affected position and replacement if necessary and prohibited the
installation of affected parts at affected positions. Since the FAA
issued AD 2023-09-01, a new airplane model (A321-253NY) has been
certified by EASA, on which affected parts could be installed in
service. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2023-09-01, and
revises the applicability to include Model A321-253NY airplanes, 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.
DATES: This AD is effective February 18, 2025.

Background
The FAA issued AD 2023-09-01, Amendment 39-22424 (88 FR 32628, May
22, 2023) (AD 2023-09-01), for all Airbus SAS Model A318 series
airplanes; Model A319 series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -
216, -231, -232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N
airplanes; and Model A321 series airplanes. AD 2023-09-01 was prompted
by an MCAI originated by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the
Member States of the European
[[Page 8668]]
Union. EASA issued AD 2022-0147, dated July 14, 2022; corrected August
17, 2022 (EASA 2022-0147), to correct an unsafe condition.
AD 2023-09-01 was prompted by a report from the affected part
manufacturer, Kidde Aerospace & Defense, that certain OHDS sensing
elements, produced before January 31, 2021, may not properly detect
thermal bleed leak events due to a quality escape during the
manufacturing process. AD 2023-09-01 required a one-time detailed
inspection of each affected part installed at an affected position
(i.e., a position identified as functional item number (FIN) 34HF, FIN
35HF, FIN 61HF or FIN 62HF) and replacement as applicable and
prohibited the installation of affected parts at affected positions.
The FAA issued AD 2023-09-01 to address overheat detection system
(OHDS) sensing elements that do not properly detect thermal bleed leak
events, which could result in an air leak remaining undetected by the
OHDS at an affected position and not being isolated during flight,
possibly resulting in localized areas of the main landing gear bay and
keel beam being exposed to high temperatures, and consequent reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.
Actions Since AD 2023-09-01 Was Issued
Since the FAA issued AD 2023-09-01, EASA superseded EASA AD 2022-
0147 and issued EASA AD 2024-0196, dated October 18, 2024 (EASA AD
2024-0196) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319
series airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -232, -
233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and Model
A321-111, A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231,
A321-232, A321-251N, A321-251NX, A321-252N, A321-252NX, A321-253N,
A321-253NX, A321-253NY, A321-271N, A321-271NX, A321-272N and A321-272NX
airplanes. Model A320-215 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and
are not included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this AD
therefore does not include those airplanes in the applicability. The
MCAI states a new airplane model (A321-253NY) has been certified by
EASA. Affected parts could be installed on Model A321-253NY airplanes
in service, even though as of the issue date of EASA AD 2024-0196, no
A321-253NY have been delivered to operators. EASA AD 2024-0196 extends
the applicability to model A321-253NY airplanes and prohibits
installation of affected parts on those airplanes in service. The FAA
has certificated this model and added it to the U.S. type certificate
data sheet. Therefore, this AD includes Model A321-253NY airplanes.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address OHDS sensing elements that do
not properly detect thermal bleed leak events. The unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could result in an air leak remaining undetected by the
OHDS at an affected position and not being isolated during flight,
possibly resulting in localized areas of the main landing gear bay and
keel beam being exposed to high temperatures, and consequent reduced
structural integrity 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-2024-2715.
Explanation of Retained Requirements
Although this AD does not explicitly restate the requirements of AD
2023-09-01, this AD retains all of the requirements of AD 2023-09-01.
Those requirements are referenced in EASA AD 2024-0196, which, in turn,
is referenced in paragraph (g) of this AD.
Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51
EASA AD 2024-0196 specifies procedures for a one-time special
detailed inspection (SDI) of each OHDS sensing element installed at an
affected position to detect discrepancies (an incorrect electronic
centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) alert (one not related to AIR L
WING LEAK) being displayed following the inspection of any OHDS sensing
element), and depending on findings, replacement of any affected part
with a serviceable part. EASA AD 2024-0196 also prohibits the
installation of affected parts at affected positions. For airplanes
previously affected by EASA AD 2022-0147, EASA AD 2024-0196 retains the
requirements of that AD, with no additional actions.
This AD also requires Kidde Aerospace & Defense Service Bulletin
CFD-26-3, dated January 13, 2022; and Revision 1, dated March 29, 2022;
which the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation
by reference as of June 26, 2023 (88 FR 32628, May 22, 2023).
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 and
material referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD after determining
that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.
Requirements of This AD
This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2024-0196 described previously, except for any differences identified
as exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. This AD also revises
the applicability to include Model A321-253NY airplanes. This AD also
prohibits the installation of affected parts.
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,
EASA AD 2024-0196 is incorporated by reference in this AD. This AD
requires compliance with EASA AD 2024-0196 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same as
the heading of a particular section in EASA AD 2024-0196 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
2024-0196. Material required by EASA AD 2024-0196 for compliance will
be available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2024-2715 after
this AD is published.
FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date
Section 553(b) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment
procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds that
those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section
[[Page 8669]]
553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less
than thirty days, upon a finding of good cause.
There are currently no domestic operators of Model A321-253NY
airplanes. There are also no new requirements for the other affected
models as the EASA AD and this AD are only adding a model to the
applicability. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public
comment are unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). In addition, for
the foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.
Costs of Compliance
Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered Model A321-253NY
airplanes. However, for airplanes affected by AD 2023-09-01, and for
any affected airplane that is imported and placed on the U.S. Register
in the future, the FAA provides the following cost estimates to comply
with this AD:
Estimated Costs for Required Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6 work-hours x $85 per hour = $0 $510
$510...........................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition action that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need this on-condition action:
Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85 $1,645 $1,730 (per OHDS
sensing element).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.
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
This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

271NX, and -272NX airplanes.
(d) Subject
Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 36, Pneumatic.
(e) Unsafe Condition
This AD was prompted by a report that certain overheat detection
system (OHDS) sensing elements installed at certain positions might
not properly detect thermal bleed leak events due to a quality
escape
[[Page 8670]]
during the manufacturing process. This AD was also prompted by a
determination that affected parts could be installed on Model A321-
253NY airplanes in service. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
OHDS sensing elements that do not properly detect thermal bleed leak
events. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could result in an
air leak remaining undetected by the OHDS at an affected position
and not being isolated during flight, possibly resulting in
localized areas of the main landing gear bay and keel beam being
exposed to high temperatures, and consequent reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.
(f) Compliance
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.
(g) Requirements
Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2024-0196, dated October 18, 2024 (EASA AD 2024-0196).
(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024-0196
(1) Where EASA AD 2024-0196 refers to July 28, 2022 (the
effective date of EASA AD 2022-0147), this AD requires using June
26, 2023 (the effective date of AD 2023-09-01).
(2) Where EASA AD 2024-0196 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
(3) Where EASA AD 2024-0196 defines ``Affected part'' and
identifies part numbers and corresponding date codes as those
``listed in Section 1.A of the VSB,'' for this AD, those part
numbers and corresponding date codes are listed in Section 1.A. of
Kidde Aerospace & Defense Service Bulletin CFD-26-3, dated January
13, 2022; or Revision 1, dated March 29, 2022. The date codes listed
in Section 1.A. of Kidde Aerospace & Defense Service Bulletin CFD-
26-3, dated January 13, 2022; and Revision 1, dated March 29, 2022;
do not apply to parts produced prior to November 24, 2004, or after
January 31, 2021.
(4) Where EASA AD 2024-0196 defines a serviceable part as ``Any
OHDS sensing element, eligible for installation in accordance with
Airbus instructions, that is not an affected part,'' for this AD
replace that text with ``Any OHDS sensing element, eligible for
installation, that is not an affected part.''
(5) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2024-0196 refers to ``any
discrepancy as defined in the SB,'' for this AD, a discrepancy is an
incorrect electronic centralized aircraft monitor (ECAM) alert (one
not related to AIR L WING LEAK) being displayed following the
inspection of any OHDS sensing element.
(6) Where the service information referenced in EASA AD 2024-
0196 specifies to send an affected part to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.
(7) This AD does not adopt the ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD
2024-0196.
(i) No Reporting Requirement
Although the service information referenced in EASA AD 2024-0196
specifies to submit certain information to the manufacturer, this AD
does not include that requirement.
(j) Additional AD Provisions
The following provisions also apply to this AD:
(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, AIR-

to your principal inspector or responsible Flight Standards Office,
as appropriate. If sending information directly to the Manager, AIR-

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain instructions from a manufacturer, the instructions must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, AIR-520,

Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the
approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
