Plain English Summary

5/10 complexity

Owners/operators of Airbus A319/A320/A321 aeroplanes fitted with specified Messier‑Bugatti, BFGoodrich, Bendix or Aircraft Braking Systems brakes must inspect main landing‑gear brakes, replace any that exceed the maximum wear limits adopted from FAA AD 97‑02‑04, and record those limits in the approved maintenance system. The directive assigns inspection, replacement and maintenance‑record tasks (and their costs) to operators; the amendment clarifies applicability and incorporates the current FAA AD.
