REVISION STATUS

The ALS Part 3 is approved and Variations must also be approved.

The technical content of this Revision is approved under the authority of the DOA ref. EASA.21J.031.

Note: the present Revision includes ALS data already approved either by EASA for major changes or by Airbus under DOA privilege for minor changes.

REVISION NUMBER APPROVAL REFERENCE APPROVAL DATE

07 D050319070 OCT 11/19

07 issue 02 D050319070 issue 02 JAN 17/20

This Revision contains all approved changes to A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 3 since the last Revision.

Issue 02 of considered Revision has been published in order to introduce compliance time for CMR 282800-00006-1-C.

This including changes published through the following Variations:

VARIATION NUMBER REASON OF THE VARIATION

6.1 Issue 02

MOD 163213 introduces option to include up to three Additional Centre Tanks (ACT) to the A321 NEO ACF.

This Variation aims at providing the mandatory instructions and airworthiness limitations required following embodiment of MOD 163213.

This Variation provides also relaxations to CMRs 262300-00001-1-C and 262300-00002-1-C, applicable to the rest of the A320 family fleet fitted with cargo compartment fire extinguishing.

Reason for issue 02 is to modify APPLICABILITY of considered Variation 6.1 from A321-200NX aircraft models, to all A318/A319/A320/A321 aircraft models (in order to reflect relaxations to CMRs 262300-00001-1-C and 262300-00002-1-C).

VARIATION NUMBER REASON OF THE VARIATION

6.2

The reference aircraft for the A320 NEO ACJ is an A320 NEO. The design changes to be applied on this A320 NEO to get an A320 NEO ACJ are the following modifications:

Up to 4 ACTs [MOD 163215 / Certify up to 4 ACTs on A320 NEO ACJ]

And FL 410 [MOD 162744 / Extend Flight Envelope up to 41 000 FT (A320 NEO ACJ)]

And Airstairs [MOD 162481 / Entrance stairs install reinforced airstairs locking system].

A320 NEO ACJ aircraft are thus A320 POST MOD 163215 AND POST MOD 162744 AND POST MOD 162481.

This Variation aims to provide the impact on the mandatory instructions and airworthiness limitations published in the A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 3 Revision 06 following embodiment of MOD 163215 AND MOD 162744 AND MOD 162481.

6.3

MOD 161004 introduces the new A319-151N aircraft model. MOD 165511 introduces the new A319-153N aircraft model. MOD 162338 introduces envelope for design weight of A319 NEO ACJ aircraft. This MOD is used as marker of A319 NEO ACJ configuration.

This Variation aims at providing the impact on the mandatory instructions and airworthiness limitations published in the A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 3 Revision 06 following embodiment of MOD 161004 and/or MOD 165511 and/or MOD 162338.

This includes also additional changes that were not published through Variations. For detailed traceability in the SOC, group of changes have been defined as follow:

COMPLIANCE TIME

Airbus anticipates that a dedicated Airworthiness Directive (AD) will be released to mandate the update of the Operators approved Maintenance Program (OMP) according to Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 3 Revision 07. The compliance chapter of this future AD will give an implementation period for introduction of the new or revised instructions and airworthiness limitations introduced by this Revision in the OMP. Airbus recommends Operators to consider the implementation of these changes in the OMP at the next scheduled opportunity in order to anticipate future AD requirements. Maintenance tasks in SECTION 3 will also be mandated by the future AD and are to be accomplished prior to the new/revised intervals provided in this Revision, except for the items listed in the below table. For these items listed in the table below, a compliance time is provided for aircraft that have already exceeded or are close to exceeding the new or revised intervals. In such a case, maintenance tasks in SECTION 3 are to be accomplished prior to the new/revised intervals provided in this Revision or by the compliance time provided for each item, whichever occurs later. When applicable, the compliance time deadlines are indicated in the table below as advanced information for Operators in order to anticipate future AD requirements.

4. DEFINITION OF ALS PART 3 CONTENT

4.1 CERTIFICATION MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS (CMR)

4.1.1 ONE STAR CMR (*)

One Star CMRs specified in ALS Part 3 are mandatory tasks and cannot be changed or deleted without the concurrence of the Primary Certification Authority (EASA).

One Star CMR task intervals quoted in ALS Part 3 are absolute limitations and cannot be escalated without the concurrence of the Primary Certification Authority.

4.1.2 TWO STAR CMR (**)

Two Star CMRs specified in ALS Part 3 are mandatory tasks and cannot be changed or deleted without the concurrence of the Primary Certification Authority.

Two Star CMR task intervals may be adjusted in accordance with an Operator’s approved escalation practices or an approved reliability program.

This statement has been agreed on the basis that Operators with approved escalation practices or an approved reliability program make adjustments to their maintenance programs based on data collection and analytical techniques. It has been demonstrated that the use of such methods to manage a maintenance program does not give rise to undue escalation.

5. BASIC RULES

5.1 CLOCK STARTING POINT FOR CMR

This paragraph provides general rules related to the starting point for calculation of due dates or times for CMR identified in this document according to the different usage parameters.

For CMR tasks whose interval is given in Calendar time, the starting point to be considered is the date of Transfer of Title (TOT) to the first Operator of the aircraft, unless otherwise stated in the delivery documentation of the dedicated aircraft.

For CMR tasks whose interval is given in Flight Hours (FH), the starting point to be considered is the date of Transfer of Title (TOT) to the first Operator of the aircraft, unless otherwise stated in the delivery documentation of the dedicated aircraft. Considering the very low number of flight hours performed between first flight and delivery, and the methodology used to define CMR task intervals, EASA agrees to consider the date of delivery of the aircraft as the starting point for CMR tasks whose intervals are given in Flight Hours.

Page 13: A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS

A320 Family

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION

ISSUE: JAN 17/20 ALS PART 3 - SECTION 1 PAGE: 13/29

© AIRBUS SAS 2019. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.

For CMR tasks whose interval is given in Flight Cycles (FC), the starting point to be considered is the date of the aircraft first flight, unless otherwise stated in the delivery documentation of the dedicated aircraft.

For CMR tasks whose interval is changed, the next accomplishment must be determined from previous accomplishment date unless otherwise stated.

The time to start the clock for tasks with applicability determined by post-delivery modification is the date of MOD embodiment.

5.2 EXCEPTIONAL SHORT-TERM EXTENSIONS

Since CMR intervals are based on statistical averages and reliability rates, an exceptional short-term extension for a specific CMR interval may be made on one aircraft for a limited period of time without jeopardizing safety.

The term “exceptional short-term extension” is defined as an increase in a CMR interval that may be needed to cover an uncontrollable or unexpected situation. Repeated use of such extensions, either on the same aircraft or on similar aircraft in the Operator's fleet, should not be used as a substitute for good management practices. Short-term extensions must not be used for fleet CMR escalation.

Unless noted adjacent to the task, for all CMRs (One Star and Two Star) identified in this ALS Part 3, it has been accepted by the Primary Certification Office (EASA) that short-term extensions up to the following maximum values may be granted without consultation with that office. Requests for extensions in excess of these values must be submitted with full justification to the Primary Certification Office (EASA) such that approval, if granted, can be given prior to their use.

(1) CMR controlled by Flight Hours (FH)

Extensions up to 10% or 500 FH (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on CMR intervals quoted in terms of Flight Hours.

(2) CMR controlled by Flight Cycles (FC)

Extensions up to 5% or 250 FC (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on CMR intervals quoted in terms of Flight Cycles.

(3) CMR controlled by Calendar Time

Where the repeat interval is 12 months or less, extensions up to 10% or 1 month (whichever is the lesser) may exceptionally be granted on CMR intervals quoted in terms of months.

Where the repeat interval is greater than 12 months, extensions up to 2 months may exceptionally be granted.

This paragraph in the ALS Part 3 is written to confirm to the Authority of the State of aircraft registry that exceptional short-term extensions of CMR intervals are permissible. Approval of such extensions rests with the Authority of the State of aircraft registry in the same way as it does for any other scheduled maintenance task interval extension.

DIRECTIVES AND ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE

Limitations of the ALS Part 3 may be superseded by instructions given in either a production concession, a repair solution, an ALS Variation, an Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) an Airworthiness Directive (AD), or exemptions provided by National Aviation Authorities (e.g. exemption supported by ASAC – Airbus Statement of Airworthiness Compliance).

It is Operator’s responsibility to refer to the applicable limitations.

When a limitation affected by a production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC is amended within the Revision of the ALS Part 3 subsequent to the issuance date of the production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC, Operators are requested to contact Airbus for guidance to establish impact on the production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC.

8. MODIFICATIONS/REPAIRS NOT DEVELOPED BY AIRBUS DOA CERTIFICATE EASA.21J.031

If an aircraft/component has a modification or repair embodied, that has not been developed under the authority of Airbus Design Organisation Approval (DOA) No EASA.21J.031, and affects the content of the ALS, the Design Approval Holder (e.g. Supplementary Type Certificate (STC) holder) is responsible to provide any necessary adaptations of the ALS Part 3 airworthiness limitations.
