Applicability: Model A320 series airplanes, on which Modification 22039 has not been accomplished, certificated in any category. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished. To ensure complete closure of the low pressure fuel fire shut-off valve, accomplish the following: A. Within 350 hours time-in-service after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 350 hours time-in-service, perform a functional check of the low pressure fuel fire shut-off valve actuator, in accordance with Airbus Industrie All Operators Telex (AOT) 28-01, dated October 8, 1990. B. If any valve fails or indicates failure to open or close correctly, prior to further flight, replace the low pressure fuel fire shut-off valve actuator with either P/N HTE 190001 (PRE Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A320-28-1028), or P/N HTE 190001-1 (POST Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A320-28-1028), in accordance with Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A320-28-1028, Revision 1, dated November 23, 1990. Following actuator replacement, perform a functional test in accordance with AOT 28-01, dated October 8, 1990. Accomplishment of Modification 22039 (Service Bulletin A320-28-1028) constitutes terminating action for the repetitive functional checks required by paragraph A. of this AD. C. An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time, which provides an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. NOTE: The request should be forwarded through an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may concur or comment and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113. D. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD. E. The repetitive functional check requirements shall be done in accordance with Airbus Industrie All Operators Telex (AOT) 28-01, dated October 8, 1990. The replacement requirements shall be done in accordance with Airbus Industrie Service Bulletin A320-28-1028, Revision 1, dated November 23, 1990.
