Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A320-111 Series Airplanes

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A320-111 series airplanes. This amendment requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking around the attachment holes for the access panels in the lower skin of the wing; 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 such cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
