Type:Proposed Rule
Citation:86 FR 11156
Reading Time:about 12 minutes
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has proposed a new rule for certain Airbus SAS airplanes, including models A319-171N, A320-271N, -272N, -273N, and A321-271N, -272N, -271NX, and -272NX. This proposal arises from early wear and a broken part found during tests on engine mounts, which could lead to engine mount failure or detachment. The rule would require replacing specific parts on these airplanes to address these issues. Comments on this proposed rule need to be submitted by April 12, 2021.
Simple Explanation
The FAA wants to fix a problem with parts in some Airbus airplanes to keep them safe, because the parts can wear out too fast and might break. They want people to say what they think about these changes by April 12, 2021.
