Abstract

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-03-06 and AD 2025-17-07, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 and A320 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, - 132, -133, -151N, -153N, and -171N airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, - 253N, -253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2025-17-07 also applied to Airbus SAS Model A321-253NY airplanes. AD 2025-03-06 and AD 2025-17-07 required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-03- 06 and AD 2025-17-07, new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations have been developed. This AD continues to require certain actions in AD 2025-03-06 and all actions in AD 2025-17-07. This AD also requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations and add new airplane models. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
