SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  

REGULATORY TEXT:   95-22-11 AIRBUS: Amendment 39-9419. Docket 95-NM-194-AD.

Applicability: Model A320 airplanes; having manufacturer's serial numbers (MSN) 006, 008, 011, 017, 018, 039, 042, 045, 046, and 047; certificated in any category.

NOTE 1: This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision, regardless of whether it has been otherwise modified, altered, or repaired in the area subject to the requirements of this AD. For airplanes that have been modified, altered, or repaired so that the performance of the requirements of this AD is affected, the owner/operator must use the authority provided in paragraph (b) of this AD to request approval from the FAA. This approval may address either no action, if the current configuration eliminates the unsafe condition; or different actions necessary to address the unsafe condition described in this AD. Such a request should include an assessment of the effect of the changed configuration on the unsafe condition addressed by this AD. In no case does the presence of any modification, alteration, or repair remove any airplane from the applicability of this AD.

Compliance: Required as indicated, unless accomplished previously.

To prevent the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracking in fuselage frame 20, which could adversely affect the structural integrity of this area of the fuselage, accomplish the following:

(a) Prior to the accumulation of 14,000 total landings, or within 6 months after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later, reinforce the left fuselage frame (FR) 20 between stringers 30 and 32, in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1017, Revision 1, dated September 7, 1993.

(b) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an acceptable level of safety may be used if approved by the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113, FAA, Transport Airplane Directorate. Operators shall submit their requests through an appropriate FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and then send it to the Manager, Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

NOTE 2: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Standardization Branch, ANM-113.

(c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with sections 21.197 and 21.199 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.197 and 21.199) to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.

(d) The reinforcement shall be done in accordance with Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1017, Revision 1, dated September 7, 1993, which contains the following list of effective pages:
