Airworthiness Directive 04-25787
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This AD requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to prohibit operators from performing CAT 2 or CAT 3 automatic landings or roll- outs at certain airports. This AD also provides for an optional terminating action for the AFM revision. This AD is prompted by data showing that the magnetic variation table installed in the Honeywell inertial reference system (IRS) is obsolete at certain airports. We are issuing this AD to prevent the airplane from departing the runway during a CAT 2 or CAT 3 automatic landing or roll-out, due to magnetic and IRS deviations.
Which aircraft AD 04-25787 applies to
Whether AD 04-25787 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:
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.
