Airworthiness Directive 2009-15-02
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 Airplanes
What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:
Which aircraft AD 2009-15-02 applies to
Applies to all A318/A319/A320/A321 airplanes except those on which Airbus Modification 27189 was done in production or Service Bulletin A320-29-1100 was done in service, and on which Modification 28413 was not done in production.
Whether AD 2009-15-02 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.
