### ATA 05 Time Limits and Maintenance Checks – Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items – ALS Part 2 – Amendment

Manufacturer(s): Airbus (formerly Airbus Industrie)

Applicability: Airbus A318-111, A318-112, A318-1 21, A318-122, A319-111, A319-112, A319-113, A319-114, A319-115, A319 -131, A319-132, A319-133, A320-111, A320-211, A320-212, A320-214, A320 -215, A320-216, A320-231, A320-232, A320-233, A321-111, A321-112, A321 -131, A321-211, A321-212, A321-213, A321-231 and A321-232 aeroplanes, al l manufacturer serial numbers.

Reason: The airworthiness limitations are curr ently included in Airbus A318/A319/A320- /A321 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS). The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Damage Tolerant Airworthiness Limitation Items (DT ALI) are currently given in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 ALI Document reference AI/SE-M4/95A.0252/96 and Airbus A319 Corporate Jet ALI Document reference AI/SE-M2/95A.1 038/99, which are approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and referenced in Airbus Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 2.
The issue 10 of Airbus A318/A319/A 320/A321 ALI Document and issue 2 of Airbus A319 Corporate Jet ALI Document introduce more restrictive maintenance requirements/airworthiness limitations. Fa ilure to comply with this issue 10 constitutes an unsafe condition. EASA AD 2010-0071 retains the requirem ents of EASA AD 2006-0165, which is superseded, and requires the implementati on of more restrictive maintenance requirements/airworthiness limitations as specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320- /A321 ALI Document reference AI/SE-M4 /95A.0252/96 issue 10 and Airbus A319 Corporate Jet ALI Document re ference AI/SE-M2/95A.1038/99.EASA AD No : 2010-0071R1
