SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-20-10, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319-111, -112,-113, -114, -115, -131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-211, -212, -214, -216, -231, -232, and -233 airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. AD 2019-20-10 required repetitive rototest inspections of the holes at the door stop fittings for any cracking, and corrective actions if necessary.

The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective March 15, 2022.
