## Summary

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A319-113 and -114 airplanes, and Model A320-211 and - 212 airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report that a life- limit of 64,000 flight cycles has been established for certain titanium crossbeams of the forward engine mount. This proposed AD would require repetitive replacements of all affected crossbeams of the forward engine mount. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
