Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This directive requires replacement of the rear pintle pin in the main landing gear on specified Airbus A320 family aircraft serial numbers, using Airbus Service Bulletin A320‑32‑1024. Operators and their maintenance organisations must complete the change before 20,000 landings or at the next main landing gear overhaul, arranging parts and bearing associated costs. CASA states the action responds to three cracked pins found on a fatigue specimen and improves fatigue performance by fitting A320‑200 pins in place of A320‑100 pins.
