AD 2008-08-04 required repetitive inspections for cracking in the forward lug of the support rib 5 fitting of the left and right main landing gear (MLG), and repair or replacement of any cracked MLG fitting if necessary. AD 2008-08-04 also required modification of the rib bushings of the left and right MLG, which ended the repetitive inspections. This new AD requires, for airplanes on which certain modifications or repairs have been done, repetitive inspections for cracks of the forward lug of each left-hand and right-hand MLG support rib 5 fitting, and repair if necessary; and adds Model A318 series airplanes to the applicability. Replacement of an MLG support rib 5 fitting terminates the repetitive inspection requirements for the MLG support rib 5 fitting at that position. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found in the forward lug of the MLG support rib 5 fitting. We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking in the forward lug of the MLG, which could result in failure of the lug and consequent collapse of the MLG during takeoff or landing. 79 FR 17416 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-03-28/2014-04954 2014-04954 fr28mr14-11 RIN 2120-AA64 4910-13-P Docket No. FAA-2011-1253 Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-079-AD Amendment 39-17723 AD 2013-26-14 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2014-03-28/2014-04954 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-03-28/html/2014-04954.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-03-28/pdf/2014-04954.pdf Air Transportation Aircraft Aviation Safety Incorporation by Reference Safety 7 p. 17416 17422 79 FR 17416 Title 14 Part 39 14 CFR Part 39 RIN 2120-AA64 Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes; Federal Register Vol. 79, Issue RULE 2014-04954 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Aviation Administration 2014-05-02 Docket No. FAA-2011-1253 Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-079-AD Amendment 39-17723 AD 2013-26-14 4910-13-P 2014-04954 Final rule.

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2008-08-04 for certain Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2008-08-04 required repetitive inspections for cracking in the forward lug of the support rib 5 fitting of the left and right main landing gear (MLG), and repair or replacement of any cracked MLG fitting if necessary. AD 2008-08-04 also required modification of the rib bushings of the left and right MLG, which ended the repetitive inspections. This new AD requires, for airplanes on which certain modifications or repairs have been done, repetitive inspections for cracks of the forward lug of each left-hand and right-hand MLG support rib 5 fitting, and repair if necessary; and adds Model A318 series airplanes to the applicability. Replacement of an MLG support rib 5 fitting terminates the repetitive inspection requirements for the MLG support rib 5 fitting at that position.

We are issuing this AD to prevent cracking in the forward lug of the MLG, which could result in failure of the lug and consequent collapse of the MLG during takeoff or landing.

This AD becomes effective May 2, 2014.
