Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Airworthiness Directive applies to all Airbus A320 models and requires operators to perform the modifications described in Airbus Service Bulletins SB A320-34-1012 and SB A320-34-1013 to prevent two angle-of-attack sensors from simultaneously moving into a position that could trigger a pitch-down command. The AD sets specific compliance deadlines. The 2010 amendment corrects the referenced DGAC AD number in the Note but does not alter the substantive modification requirement.
