Unsafe Condition
Wear damage of the aft attachment fittings of the articulated seats and dummy tracks in the passenger compartment could cause the floor panels to sag and result in failure of flight control systems and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Perform a detailed visual inspection for wear damage of the aft attachment fittings using specified Airbus Service Bulletins. If wear exceeds 1 mm, repair prior to further flight. Repeat inspections at intervals not to exceed 6,000 flight cycles.
