| 2026-09171 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes | Rule | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-153N airplanes; Model A320-251N, -252N, and -271N airplanes; and Model A321-251NX, -252NX, -271NX and -272NX airplanes. This AD was prompted by an Airbus supplier identifying a quality issue in production, which could result in potential deviations from the specified thickness of various fuselage panels. This AD requires, for certain airplanes, doing a "local thickness mapping," doing applicable additional instructions, a general visual inspection (GVI) of certain forward fuselage panels, a full panel thickness measurement, and applicable corrective actions. This AD also requires, for all airplanes, a dispatch restriction from using certain master minimum equipment list (MMEL) items, a prohibition to use certain structural repair manual (SRM) tasks. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2026-05-08 | 2026 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/05/08/2026-09171/airworthiness-directives-airbus-sas-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-05-08/pdf/2026-09171.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-153N airplanes; Model A320-251N, -252N, and -271N airplanes; and Model A321-251NX, -252NX, -271NX and -272NX airplanes.
