Airworthiness Directive 99-26274
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319-131, A320-232 and - 233, and A321-131 and -231 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319-131, A320-232 and -233, and A321-131 and -231 series airplanes, that requires replacement of all titanium thrust links with steel thrust links. 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 failure of the titanium thrust links due to the life limit of the thrust links, which in combination with other failures, could result in the separation of an engine from the airplane.
Which aircraft AD 99-26274 applies to
Whether AD 99-26274 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.
