Abstract

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-11-02, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -171N, and -173N airplanes; A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, - 253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2025-11-02 requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by providing instructions to address dual loss of radio management panel (RMP) data synchronization. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-11-02, a software modification for the digital radio and audio integrating management system (DRAIMS) has been developed to address the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2025-11-02 and would require modification of the DRAIMS and add Model A321-271NY airplanes to the applicability. This proposed AD would also prohibit the installation of affected parts. 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) 
2025-11-02, which applies to certain Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, 
-171N, and -173N airplanes; A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and 
-273N airplanes; A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -
253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2025-11-02 
requires revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by 
providing instructions to address dual loss of radio management panel 
(RMP) data synchronization. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-11-02, a 
software modification for the digital radio and audio integrating 
management system (DRAIMS) has been developed to address the unsafe 
condition. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 
2025-11-02 and would require modification of the DRAIMS and add Model 
A321-271NY airplanes to the applicability. This proposed AD would also 
prohibit the installation of affected parts. The FAA is proposing this 
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 28, 
2026.

designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this 
rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2025-11-02, Amendment 39-23048 (90 FR 22199, May 
27, 2025) (AD 2025-11-02), for Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -
171N, and -173N airplanes; A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -
273N airplanes; A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -
253NY, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes having Airbus 
modification 162344 or 168460, except those having Airbus modification 
165670 installed in production. AD 2025-11-02 was prompted by an MCAI 
originated by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States 
of the European Union. EASA issued AD 2025-0037, dated February 12, 
2025 (EASA AD 2025-0037), to correct an unsafe condition. EASA AD 2025-
0037 stated that occurrences of lost synchronization between RMPs were 
reported, and that these occurrences led to loss of communications 
means (RMP data synchronization and very high frequency (VHF) 
communications) on the DRAIMS. Airbus issued instructions for regaining 
communication and transponder means in certain failure conditions. EASA 
AD 2025-0037 also stated the AD was considered an interim action and 
that further AD action might follow.
    AD 2025-11-02 requires revising the existing AFM by providing 
instructions to address dual loss of RMP data synchronization. The FAA 
issued AD 2025-11-02 to address loss of communications means (RMP data 
synchronization and VHF communications) on the DRAIMS. This condition, 
if not corrected, could result in total loss of radio communications, 
including transponder functionality and standby navigation.

Actions Since AD 2025-11-02 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2025-11-02, EASA superseded EASA AD 2025-
0037 with EASA AD 2025-0118, dated February 12, 2025, which in turn was 
revised by EASA AD 2025-0118R1, dated July 15, 2025 (EASA AD 2025-
0118R1) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 
for all Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -171N, and -173N airplanes; 
A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; A321-251N, 
-251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -253NY, -271N, -271NX, -271NY, -
272N, and -272NX airplanes. The MCAI states that Airbus issued service 
information to upgrade DRAIMS to the software L4.3 standard.
    The preamble to AD 2025-11-02 explains that the FAA considers that 
AD an interim action and that the FAA might consider further rulemaking 
once the modification is developed, approved, and available. The DRAIMS 
software L4.3 standard would address the unsafe condition and would 
terminate the AFM revision required by AD 2025-11-02. Therefore, the 
FAA has determined this modification should be required.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on 
these products. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at 
<a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2026-3481.

Material Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2025-0118R1 specifies procedures for revising the existing 
AFM by providing instructions to address dual loss of RMP data 
synchronization; and modifying the airplane by upgrading DRAIMS to the 
software L4.3 standard, which includes upgrading the audio management 
and RMP software and modifying the wiring at the 3rd occupant human-
machine interface input. EASA AD 2025-0118R1 also prohibits the 
installation of affected parts.
    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

    These products have been approved by the civil aviation authority 
of another country and are approved for operation in the United States. 
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design 
Authority, that authority 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 requirements of AD 2025-11-02. 
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in 
EASA AD 2025-0118R1 described previously, except for any differences 
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.

Compliance With AFM Revisions

    EASA AD 2025-0118R1 requires operators to ``inform all flight 
crews'' of revisions to the AFM, and thereafter to ``operate the 
aeroplane accordingly.'' However, this proposed AD would not 
specifically require those actions as those actions are already 
required by FAA regulations. FAA regulations require operators furnish 
to pilots any changes to the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 121.137), and to 
ensure the pilots are familiar with the AFM (for example, 14 CFR 
91.505). As with any other

[[Page 18794]]

flightcrew training requirement, training on the updated AFM content is 
tracked by the operators and recorded in each pilot's training record, 
which is available for the FAA to review. FAA regulations also require 
pilots to follow the procedures in the existing AFM including all 
updates. Section 91.9 requires that any person operating a civil 
aircraft must comply with the operating limitations specified in the 
AFM. Therefore, including a requirement in this proposed AD to operate 
the airplane according to the revised AFM would be redundant and 
unnecessary.

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 2025-0118R1 by reference in the FAA 
final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require compliance with 
EASA AD 2025-0118R1 in its entirety 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 2025-0118R1 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 2025-
0118R1. Material required by EASA AD 2025-0118R1 for compliance will be 
available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> under Docket No. FAA-2026-3481 after the 
FAA final rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would 
affect 544 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following 
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by 
reference, Safety.

520, Continued Operational Safety 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 appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of 
the Continued Operational Safety Branch, send it to the attention of 
the person identified in paragraph (m)(1) of this AD and email to: 
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#43020e0c00032522226d242c35"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="febfb3b1bdbe989f9fd0999188">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>.
    (i) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate 
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager 
of the responsible Flight Standards Office.
    (ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2025-11-02 are approved as 
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of paragraph (g) of this AD.
    (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, 
Continued Operational Safety Branch, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus SAS's 
EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the 
approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except as required by 
paragraph (l)(2) of this AD, if any material contains procedures or 
tests that are identified as RC, those procedures and tests must be 
done to comply with this AD; any procedures or tests that are not 
identified as RC are recommended. Those procedures and tests that 
are not identified as RC may be deviated from using accepted methods 
in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection program 
without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and 
tests identified as RC can be done and the airplane can be put back 
in an airworthy condition. Any substitutions or changes to 
procedures or tests identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.
