EASA Regulations for Airbus A321-231

6 airworthiness directives and regulations affecting Airbus A321-231.

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 2023-0074

Wings — Centre Wing Box Rear Lower Spar and Slanted Beam — Inspection

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2023-0074 is an airworthiness directive issued by EASA affecting Airbus A321-111, A321-112, A321-131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231, and A321-232 aeroplanes. It mandates a one-time inspection of the centre wing box rear lower spar junction area and the slanted beam connection at fuselage frame 42 to detect potential fatigue cracks. The directive aims to ensure structural integrity by addressing high fatigue stress identified during certification and stress analysis.

EASA AD US-2022-02-05

Engine - High Pressure Turbine Stage 1/2 Disks - Replacement

The Federal Aviation Administration's Airworthiness Directive 2022-02-05 addresses certain Pratt & Whitney PW1500G and PW1900G model turbofan engines installed on aircraft such as the Airbus A321-231. This directive mandates the removal and replacement of specific high-pressure turbine (HPT) 1st-stage and 2nd-stage disks due to a risk of uncontained disk failure. The directive aims to prevent engine damage and potential loss of the airplane caused by high-energy debris from disk failures.
