{"abstract":"This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-111 and -211 series airplanes. This action requires repetitive inspections to detect fatigue cracking of the frames of the sliding windows in the cockpit, and repair, if necessary. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the frames of the sliding windows in the cockpit, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the pressure vessel of the fuselage of the airplane.","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/1998/07/16/98-18769.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":39,"title":14}],"citation":"63 FR 38290","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective July 31, 1998.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. 97-NM-160-AD","Amendment 39-10660","AD 98-15-09"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"98-18769","effective_on":"1998-07-31","end_page":38293,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/07/16/98-18769/airworthiness-directives-airbus-model-a320-111-and--211-series-airplanes","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/98-18769?publication_date=1998-07-16","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1998-07-16/98-18769/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":5,"last_updated":"2026-04-05 00:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-07-16/pdf/98-18769.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1998-07-16","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1998/07/16/98-18769.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2120-AA64":{"issue":"202504","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2120-AA64/airworthiness-directives","title":"Airworthiness Directives","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=202504&RIN=2120-AA64&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Routine and Frequent"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2120-AA64"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-09-21T07:10:27Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":38290,"subtype":null,"title":"Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320-111 and -211 Series Airplanes","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Rule","volume":63}
