Is AD 03-31271 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 03-31271 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 03-31271 apply to?

AD 03-31271 applies to Airbus — models A320-111. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-113 and -114 Series Airplanes; and Model A320-111, -211, and -212 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Airbus Model A319-113 and -114 series airplanes; and Model A320-111, -211, and -212 series airplanes; that requires either a review of airplane maintenance or delivery records, or one-time inspection of the hydraulic actuators located in the pivot doors of both thrust reversers to identify the part number, and eventual replacement of certain actuators with modified or new actuators. This action is necessary to prevent jamming of a thrust reverser door during operation, or inadvertent deployment of a thrust reverser door in- flight, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 03-31271 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
