Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

Requires operators of Airbus A319/A320/A321 aeroplanes that do not already have Airbus Modification 25995 or Service Bulletin A320‑25‑1186 fitted to carry out the Service Bulletin instructions to extend water protection for the avionics rack by 16 May 2000 (effective 13 Aug 1998). The manufacturer says the change prevents water ingress that can damage avionics connectors; operators pay for parts, labour and aircraft downtime, and must schedule shop visits to comply.
