EASA Regulations for Airbus A320neo

5 airworthiness directives and regulations affecting Airbus A320neo.

EASA AD US-2024-14-04

Turbine Engine Compressor Section - Low-Pressure Compressor 1st-Stage Integrally Bladed Rotor - Replacement

The Turbine Engine Compressor Section - Low-Pressure Compressor 1st-Stage Integrally Bladed Rotor - Replacement is a final rule airworthiness directive issued by the FAA affecting all International Aero Engines, LLC Model PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM, PW1124G-JM, PW1127G1-JM, PW1127G1A-JM, PW1127G1B-JM, PW1127G-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1129G-JM, PW1130G-JM, PW1133G-JM, and PW1133GA-JM engines. It addresses an unsafe condition caused by fractures in the low-pressure compressor 1st-stage integrally bladed rotor (IBR-1) that led to an in-flight shutdown on an Airbus A320neo powered by these engines. The directive mandates removal and replacement of affected LPC key washers and IBR-1 parts and installation of inlet guide vane spacers to prevent recurrence.

EASA AD US-2024-11-03

Engine - 1st-Stage Hubs and 2nd-Stage Hubs - Inspection / Replacement

The Federal Aviation Administration's Airworthiness Directive 2024-11-03 addresses certain International Aero Engines, AG Model V2500 engines installed on aircraft such as the Airbus A320neo and A321-231. This directive requires angled ultrasonic inspections and accelerated replacement of specific high-pressure turbine 1st-stage and 2nd-stage hubs due to a risk of failure caused by a nickel powdered metal anomaly. The AD aims to prevent unsafe conditions resulting from hub failures that could lead to engine shutdowns or uncontained engine debris.

EASA AD US-2023-16-07

SUPERSEDED BY FAA AD 2024-05-11

FAA Airworthiness Directive 2023-16-07 is a final rule addressing certain International Aero Engines, LLC models including PW1122G-JM, PW1124G1-JM, PW1127GA-JM, PW1400G series, and others. It mandates ultrasonic inspections of the high-pressure turbine 1st-stage and 2nd-stage hubs for cracks and requires replacement if cracks are found. This directive follows an incident involving an HPC 7th-stage rotor separation that caused an aborted takeoff on an Airbus A320neo powered by a PW1127GA-JM engine.

EASA AD 2020-0125

Aircraft Flight Manual Section Limitations — Amendment

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2020-0125 is an amendment addressing flight control law limitations on Airbus A320neo aircraft models A320-251N, A320-252N, A320-253N, A320-271N, A320-272N, and A320-273N. It mandates updates to the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) to incorporate temporary revisions or later AFM revisions that include new center of gravity (CG) envelopes enabled by Airbus modification 163923. This directive aims to ensure safe operation by limiting flight configurations that could reduce angle of attack protection efficiency.
