Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320 and A321 series airplanes. This proposal would require activation of a spoiler function that allows partial ground spoiler activation with only one main landing gear compressed. This proposal is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to prevent possible delays in deceleration when landing with strong cross winds and/or on a contaminated runway, which could increase the potential for landing overrun.
