New Rules Target Faulty Parts on Airbus A321 Planes

## Summary

The FAA just issued a new rule for all Airbus A321-271NY airplanes to keep them safe. If certain parts that might cause problems are found, they have to be fixed or removed, and those parts can’t be put back in. This keeps passengers and crews safe without causing big delays or costs.

## Abstract

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Airbus SAS Model A321-271NY airplanes. This AD was prompted by the determination that affected parts addressed by other ADs could be installed in service on this airplane model. This AD requires corrective action if necessary and prohibits the installation of affected parts. The FAA is issuing this AD to address unsafe conditions on these products.
