Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-131, -132, and -133; A320-231, -232, and -233; and A321-131 and -231 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319-131, -132, and -133; A320-231, -232, and - 233; and A321-131 and -231 series airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to advise the flightcrew of procedures associated with the intermittent interruption of the electrical power. Under certain conditions, this AD also requires inspecting for signs of arcing and performing any necessary corrective actions. This AD also provides for optional terminating action for the requirements of the AD. This AD is prompted by reports of fretting and consequent arcing of the electrical harness of the integrated drive generator (IDG) at the pin-to-socket connector at the firewall. We are issuing this AD to prevent transient loss of certain systems and consequent reduced ability of the flightcrew to cope with adverse flight conditions.

Whether AD 04-16914 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.

Is AD 04-16914 complied with on your aircraft?

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.
