Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319 and A321-100 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319 and A321-100 series airplanes, that requires adjustment of the landing gear unlocked-stop screw; replacement of the shear pins in the reduction gear box and the landing gear pulley assembly with new or serviceable shear pins; a one-time inspection to detect discrepancies of the landing gear cut-out valve; an operational test of the uplock mechanical control system; and follow-on corrective actions, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent non-extension of one or more landing gears, consequent damage to the airplane structure, and possible injury to passengers and crewmembers.

Whether AD 98-16048 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.
