ACTION: Final rule; request for comments. SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes. This AD was prompted by an analysis by the design approval holder (DAH) that identified structural areas that are susceptible to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). Following this analysis, the DAH determined that the SATCOM antenna doubler installation does not meet the extended service goal (ESG) requirements. This AD requires inspecting affected fastener holes of the SATCOM antenna doubler for cracking, and 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. DATES: This AD becomes effective August 7, 2020.
