Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This CASA Airworthiness Directive amendment requires operators of all Airbus A319/A320/A321 aeroplanes to carry out the corrective actions set out in Service Bulletins A320-24-1013 and A320-24-1031 to address suspect wiring/connectors in the Automatic Flight Control System that can affect ILS and autoland. Compliance was required by 31 December 2013; the amendment updates the referenced DGAC AD but does not change the original technical requirements. Operators and their maintenance providers bear the cost; the CASA delegate enforces compliance and operators must schedule inspections/repairs per the service bulletins.
