Abstract
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-232 and -233 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the fuel metering units (FMU) of each engine with modified FMU's. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent an inadvertent increase in thrust, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane during final approach.
