{"abstract":"The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes; Model A330-200, -200 Freighter, -300, -800, and -900 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, -300, -500, and -600 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAs) being delivered to operators having erroneous information (accumulated life) in the authorized release certificate. This AD requires contacting Collins Aerospace for amended authorized release certificates for the affected parts and replacing the affected parts if necessary, and prohibits the installation of affected parts, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.","action":"Final rule; request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"Federal Aviation Administration","name":"Federal Aviation Administration","id":159,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-aviation-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/159","parent_id":492,"slug":"federal-aviation-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2025/02/11/2025-02494.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":39,"title":14}],"citation":"90 FR 9286","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2025-03-28","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This AD is effective February 26, 2025.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. FAA-2025-0198","Project Identifier MCAI-2024-00762-T","Amendment 39-22956","AD 2025-03-08"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - Supplemental AD Documents","document_id":"FAA-2025-0198-0002"}],"agency_name":"FAA","documents":[{"comment_count":1,"comment_start_date":"2025-02-11","updated_at":"2025-03-29T01:55:53.982-04:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FAA-2025-0198-0001","allow_late_comments":false,"id":"FAA-2025-0198-0001","comment_end_date":"2025-03-29","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":1,"id":"FAA-2025-0198","title":"MCAI-2024-00762-T; Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340 series airplanes; erroneous accumulated life on trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAa)"}],"document_number":"2025-02494","effective_on":"2025-02-26","end_page":9289,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2025/02/11/2025-02494.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/02/11/2025-02494/airworthiness-directives-airbus-sas-airplanes","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2025-02494?publication_date=2025-02-11","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2025-02-11/2025-02494/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":259,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 18:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2025-02-11/pdf/2025-02494.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2025-02494.pdf?1738944906","publication_date":"2025-02-11","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2025/02/11/2025-02494.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AA64":{"issue":"202410","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202410&RIN=2120-AA64&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AA64"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"U.S. DOT/FAA - Supplemental AD Documents","document_id":"FAA-2025-0198-0002"}],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives"},"comments_count":1,"agency_id":"FAA","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=FAA-2025-0198","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"FAA-2025-0198","document_id":"FAA-2025-0198-0001","regulation_id_number":"2120-AA64","title":"MCAI-2024-00762-T; Airbus SAS Model A318, A319, A320, A321, A330 and A340 series airplanes; erroneous accumulated life on trimmable horizontal stabilizer actuators (THSAa)","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2025-03-30T00:55:03Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":9286,"subtype":null,"title":"Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes","toc_doc":"Airbus SAS Airplanes","toc_subject":"Airworthiness Directives","topics":["Air transportation","Aircraft","Aviation safety","Incorporation by reference","Safety"],"type":"Rule","volume":90}
