What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding life limits and perform all maintenance tasks within specified intervals from the effective date. Any discrepancies found during maintenance must be corrected before the next flight, following Airbus instructions or contacting Airbus if no instructions exist. The Aircraft Maintenance Program must be revised within 12 months to incorporate the updated tasks and intervals.
