ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-18-07, which applied to certain Airbus SAS 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 2019-18-07 required repetitive rototest inspections of the open tack holes and rivet holes at the cargo floor support fittings of the fuselage, including doing all applicable related investigative actions and repair if necessary.

The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: This AD is effective May 18, 2023.
