Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-251NX, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, and -272NX airplanes. This proposal comes after discovering that bushes had migrated on the latch shaft of an emergency exit door, which could affect the structural integrity of the aircraft. The proposed AD requires detailed inspections of the affected parts and modifications if discrepancies are found. The FAA invites public comments on this proposal by March 7, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to make sure some Airbus planes stay safe because a small part in the emergency door wasn’t staying in place. To fix this, they want people to check the planes regularly, and if something's wrong, fix it.
