AD FAA-2020-0968

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

Summary

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A320-251N and -271N airplanes; Model A321- 251N, -271N, -272N, -252NX, and -271NX airplanes; Model A330-243, -343, and -941 airplanes; and Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of removable display units (RDUs) found undocked from the hosting display docking stations (DDSs). This AD requires removal of the RDUs or implementation of an operational restriction, and a one-time inspection of the RDU installation onto the DDS and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective actions, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.
