Airworthiness Directive 2026-14-05
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes
What this AD requires
The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2025-11- 02, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A319-151N, -153N, -171N, and -173N airplanes; A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -253NY, - 271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. AD 2025-11-02 required revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) by providing instructions to address dual loss of radio management panel (RMP) data synchronization. Since the FAA issued AD 2025-11-02, a software modification for the digital radio and audio integrating management system (DRAIMS) has been developed to address the unsafe condition. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2025-11-02, requires modification of the DRAIMS, and adds Model A321-271NY airplanes to the applicability. This AD also prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Which aircraft AD 2026-14-05 applies to
Whether AD 2026-14-05 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.
