## Summary

The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-24-05, which applies to all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2022-24-05 requires repetitive inspections of certain galleys for corrosion of trolley retainer aluminum blocks and delamination of the upper panel of the trolley compartment, and applicable corrective action. Since the FAA issued AD 2022-24-05, the list of affected galleys has been revised, and a modification has been developed to restore the design integrity of the affected galleys. This proposed AD would continue to require the actions in AD 2022-24-05, provide optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections, revise the list of affected parts, and prohibit the installation of affected parts under certain conditions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
