Summary
This document proposes the adoption of a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This proposal would require a one-time general visual inspection to determine the part number and serial number of the spoiler servocontrol, and corrective action, if necessary. 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 failure of the spoiler servocontrol piston rod, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.
