Airworthiness Directive 99-31474
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; BFGoodrich Main Brake Assemblies as Installed on Airbus Model A319 and A320 Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain BFGoodrich main brake assemblies as installed on Airbus Model A319 and A320 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the wear indicator pins to determine the level of wear of the main brake assemblies of the main landing gear (MLG), and corrective actions, if necessary. This action also requires modification of the main brake assemblies of the MLG, and incorporation of specified wear limits into the maintenance inspection program. This amendment is prompted by in-service reports of brake deterioration caused by thermal oxidation of the carbon disks of certain BFGoodrich main brake assemblies. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent thermal oxidation of the main brake assemblies, which could result in deterioration of the MLG brakes, and consequent reduced braking performance.
Which aircraft AD 99-31474 applies to
certain
Whether AD 99-31474 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.
