## Summary

This document revises an earlier proposed airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319-131 and -132; A320-231, -232, and -233; and A321-131 and -231 series airplanes, that would have required installing new anti-swivel plates and weights on the engine fan cowl door latches. This new action revises the proposed rule by adding airplanes to the applicability and a requirement to install a new hold-open device. This action specified by this new proposed AD is necessary to prevent separation of the engine fan cowl door from the airplane in flight, which could result in damage to the airplane and hazards to persons or property on the ground. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.
