Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Industrie Model A320 and A321 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Industrie Model A320 and A321 series airplanes, that requires replacement of two elevator aileron computers (ELAC) with ELAC's that contain new software. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating difficulty maintaining the intended flight path during landing in turbulent conditions. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent situations that could lead to reduced controllability of the airplane due to adverse airplane- pilot coupling characteristics.

certain

Whether AD 98-11075 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 98-11075 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.
