Plain English Summary

8/10 complexity

This CASA Airworthiness Directive requires corrective action to address an unsafe condition in the Flight Management and Guidance Computer (FMGC) on certain Airbus A319/A320/A321 aircraft.

It applies to owners/operators of affected aircraft with specific factory modifications or service bulletins installed, excluding those already modified by later fixes; the aim is to prevent FMGC-related failures that could compromise safe flight path management.
