AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2023–09– 

01, which applied to all Airbus SAS 

Model A318 series airplanes; Model 

A319 series airplanes; Model A320–211, 

–212, –214, –216, –231, –232, –233, 

–251N, –252N, –253N, –271N, –272N, 

and –273N airplanes; and Model A321 

series airplanes. AD 2023–09–01 was 

prompted by a report that certain 

overheat detection system (OHDS) 

sensing elements installed at certain 

positions might not properly detect 

thermal bleed leak events due to a 

quality escape during the manufacturing 

process. AD 2023–09–01 required a onetime detailed inspection of each affected 

part installed at an affected position and 

replacement if necessary and prohibited 

the installation of affected parts at 

affected positions. Since the FAA issued 

AD 2023–09–01, a new airplane model 

(A321–253NY) has been certified by 

EASA, on which affected parts could be 

installed in service. This AD continues 

to require the actions in AD 2023–09– 

01, and revises the applicability to 

include Model A321–253NY airplanes, 

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 is effective February 18, 

2025. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD

rulemaking. 

Background 

The FAA issued AD 2023–09–01, 

Amendment 39–22424 (88 FR 32628, 

May 22, 2023) (AD 2023–09–01), for all 

Airbus SAS Model A318 series 

airplanes; Model A319 series airplanes; 

Model A320–211, –212, –214, –216, 

–231, –232, –233, –251N, –252N, 

–253N, –271N, –272N, and –273N 

airplanes; and Model A321 series 

airplanes. AD 2023–09–01 was 

prompted by an MCAI originated by 

EASA, which is the Technical Agent for 

the Member States of the European 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
8668 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 20 / Friday, January 31, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 

Union. EASA issued AD 2022–0147, 

dated July 14, 2022; corrected August 

17, 2022 (EASA 2022–0147), to correct 

an unsafe condition. 

AD 2023–09–01 was prompted by a 

report from the affected part 

manufacturer, Kidde Aerospace & 

Defense, that certain OHDS sensing 

elements, produced before January 31, 

2021, may not properly detect thermal 

bleed leak events due to a quality escape 

during the manufacturing process. AD 

2023–09–01 required a one-time 

detailed inspection of each affected part 

installed at an affected position (i.e., a 

position identified as functional item 

number (FIN) 34HF, FIN 35HF, FIN 

61HF or FIN 62HF) and replacement as 

applicable and prohibited the 

installation of affected parts at affected 

positions. The FAA issued AD 2023– 

09–01 to address overheat detection 

system (OHDS) sensing elements that do 

not properly detect thermal bleed leak 

events, which could result in an air leak 

remaining undetected by the OHDS at 

an affected position and not being 

isolated during flight, possibly resulting 

in localized areas of the main landing 

gear bay and keel beam being exposed 

to high temperatures, and consequent 

reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. 

Actions Since AD 2023–09–01 Was 

Issued 

Since the FAA issued AD 2023–09– 

01, EASA superseded EASA AD 2022– 

0147 and issued EASA AD 2024–0196, 

dated October 18, 2024 (EASA AD 

2024–0196) (also referred to as the 

MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus SAS Model A318 series 

airplanes; Model A319 series airplanes; 

Model A320–211, –212, –214, –215, 

–216, –231, –232, –233, –251N, –252N, 

–253N, –271N, –272N, and –273N 

airplanes; and Model A321–111, A321– 

112, A321–131, A321–211, A321–212, 

A321–213, A321–231, A321–232, A321– 

251N, A321–251NX, A321–252N, 

A321–252NX, A321–253N, A321– 

253NX, A321–253NY, A321–271N, 

A321–271NX, A321–272N and A321– 

272NX airplanes. Model A320–215 

airplanes are not certificated by the FAA 

and are not included on the U.S. type 

certificate data sheet; this AD therefore 

does not include those airplanes in the 

applicability. The MCAI states a new 

airplane model (A321–253NY) has been 

certified by EASA. Affected parts could 

be installed on Model A321–253NY 

airplanes in service, even though as of 

the issue date of EASA AD 2024–0196, 

no A321–253NY have been delivered to 

operators. EASA AD 2024–0196 extends 

the applicability to model A321–253NY 

airplanes and prohibits installation of 

affected parts on those airplanes in 

service. The FAA has certificated this 

model and added it to the U.S. type 

certificate data sheet. Therefore, this AD 

includes Model A321–253NY airplanes. 

The FAA is issuing this AD to address 

OHDS sensing elements that do not 

properly detect thermal bleed leak 

events. The unsafe condition, if not 

addressed, could result in an air leak 

remaining undetected by the OHDS at 

an affected position and not being 

isolated during flight, possibly resulting 

in localized areas of the main landing 

gear bay and keel beam being exposed 

to high temperatures, and consequent 

reduced structural integrity of the 

airplane. You may examine the MCAI in 

the AD docket at regulations.gov under 

Docket No. FAA–2024–2715. 

Explanation of Retained Requirements 

Although this AD does not explicitly 

restate the requirements of AD 2023– 

09–01, this AD retains all of the 

requirements of AD 2023–09–01. Those 

requirements are referenced in EASA 

AD 2024–0196, which, in turn, is 

referenced in paragraph (g) of this AD. 

Material Incorporated by Reference 

Under 1 CFR Part 51 

EASA AD 2024–0196 specifies 

procedures for a one-time special 

detailed inspection (SDI) of each OHDS 

sensing element installed at an affected 

position to detect discrepancies (an 

incorrect electronic centralized aircraft 

monitor (ECAM) alert (one not related to 

AIR L WING LEAK) being displayed 

following the inspection of any OHDS 

sensing element), and depending on 

findings, replacement of any affected 

part with a serviceable part. EASA AD 

2024–0196 also prohibits the 

installation of affected parts at affected 

positions. For airplanes previously 

affected by EASA AD 2022–0147, EASA 

AD 2024–0196 retains the requirements 

of that AD, with no additional actions. 

This AD also requires Kidde 

Aerospace & Defense Service Bulletin 

CFD–26–3, dated January 13, 2022; and 

Revision 1, dated March 29, 2022; 

which the Director of the Federal 

Register approved for incorporation by 

reference as of June 26, 2023 (88 FR 

32628, May 22, 2023). 

This material is reasonably available 

because the interested parties have 

access to it through their normal course 

of business or by the means identified 

in the ADDRESSES section. 

FAA’s Determination 

This product has been approved by 

the aviation authority of another 

country and is approved for operation in 

the United States. Pursuant to the FAA’s 

bilateral agreement with this State of 

Design Authority, it has notified the 

FAA of the unsafe condition described 

in the MCAI and material referenced 

above. The FAA is issuing this AD after 

determining that the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop on other products of the same 

type design. 

Requirements of This AD 

This AD requires accomplishing the 

actions specified in EASA AD 2024– 

0196 described previously, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this AD. This 

AD also revises the applicability to 

include Model A321–253NY airplanes. 

This AD also prohibits the installation 

of affected parts. 

Explanation of Required Compliance 

Information 

In the FAA’s ongoing efforts to 

improve the efficiency of the AD 

process, the FAA developed a process to 

use some civil aviation authority (CAA) 

ADs as the primary source of 

information for compliance with 

requirements for corresponding FAA 

ADs. The FAA has been coordinating 

this process with manufacturers and 

CAAs. As a result, EASA AD 2024–0196 

is incorporated by reference in this AD. 

This AD requires compliance with 

EASA AD 2024–0196 in its entirety 

through that incorporation, except for 

any differences identified as exceptions 

in the regulatory text of this AD. Using 

common terms that are the same as the 

heading of a particular section in EASA 

AD 2024–0196 does not mean that 

operators need comply only with that 

section. For example, where the AD 

requirement refers to ‘‘all required 

actions and compliance times,’’ 

compliance with this AD requirement is 

not limited to the section titled 

‘‘Required Action(s) and Compliance 

Time(s)’’ in EASA AD 2024–0196. 

Material required by EASA AD 2024– 

0196 for compliance will be available at 

regulations.gov under Docket No. FAA– 

2024–2715 after this AD is published. 

FAA’s Justification and Determination 

of the Effective Date 

Section 553(b) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 551 et 

seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense 

with notice and comment procedures 

for rules when the agency, for ‘‘good 

cause,’’ finds that those procedures are 

‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest.’’ Under this 

section, an agency, upon finding good 

cause, may issue a final rule without 

providing notice and seeking comment 

prior to issuance. Further, section 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 20 / Friday, January 31, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 8669 

553(d) of the APA authorizes agencies to 

make rules effective in less than thirty 

days, upon a finding of good cause. 

There are currently no domestic 

operators of Model A321–253NY 

airplanes. There are also no new 

requirements for the other affected 

models as the EASA AD and this AD are 

only adding a model to the 

applicability. Accordingly, notice and 

opportunity for prior public comment 

are unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

553(b). In addition, for the foregoing 

reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause 

exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for 

making this amendment effective in less 

than 30 days. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

The requirements of the RFA do not 

apply when an agency finds good cause 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule 

without prior notice and comment. 

Because the FAA has determined that it 

has good cause to adopt this rule 

without notice and comment, RFA 

analysis is not required. 

Costs of Compliance 

Currently, there are no affected U.S.- 

registered Model A321–253NY 

airplanes. However, for airplanes 

affected by AD 2023–09–01, and for any 

affected airplane that is imported and 

placed on the U.S. Register in the future, 

the FAA provides the following cost 

estimates to comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

6 work-hours × $85 per hour = $510 .......................................................................................................... $0 $510 

The FAA estimates the following 

costs to do any necessary on-condition 

action that would be required based on 

the results of any required actions. The 

FAA has no way of determining the 

number of aircraft that might need this 

on-condition action: 

ESTIMATED COSTS OF ON-CONDITION ACTIONS

Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product 

1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ........................................................................... $1,645 $1,730 (per OHDS sensing element). 

The FAA has included all known 

costs in its cost estimate. According to 

the manufacturer, however, some or all 

of the costs of this AD may be covered 

under warranty, thereby reducing the 

cost impact on affected operators. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

The FAA is issuing this rulemaking 

under the authority described in 

Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 

44701: General requirements. Under 

that section, Congress charges the FAA 

with promoting safe flight of civil 

aircraft in air commerce by prescribing 

regulations for practices, methods, and 

procedures the Administrator finds 

necessary for safety in air commerce. 

This regulation is within the scope of 

that authority because it addresses an 

unsafe condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect on the States, on 

the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

and 

(2) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska.

airplanes. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association (ATA) of 

America Code 36, Pneumatic. 

(e) Unsafe Condition 

This AD was prompted by a report that 

certain overheat detection system (OHDS) 

sensing elements installed at certain 

positions might not properly detect thermal 

bleed leak events due to a quality escape 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
8670 Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 20 / Friday, January 31, 2025 / Rules and Regulations 

during the manufacturing process. This AD 

was also prompted by a determination that 

affected parts could be installed on Model 

A321–253NY airplanes in service. The FAA 

is issuing this AD to address OHDS sensing 

elements that do not properly detect thermal 

bleed leak events. The unsafe condition, if 

not addressed, could result in an air leak 

remaining undetected by the OHDS at an 

affected position and not being isolated 

during flight, possibly resulting in localized 

areas of the main landing gear bay and keel 

beam being exposed to high temperatures, 

and consequent reduced structural integrity 

of the airplane. 

(f) Compliance 

Comply with this AD within the 

compliance times specified, unless already 

done. 

(g) Requirements 

Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this 

AD: Comply with all required actions and 

compliance times specified in, and in 

accordance with, European Union Aviation 

Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2024–0196, dated 

October 18, 2024 (EASA AD 2024–0196). 

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2024–0196 

(1) Where EASA AD 2024–0196 refers to 

July 28, 2022 (the effective date of EASA AD 

2022–0147), this AD requires using June 26, 

2023 (the effective date of AD 2023–09–01). 

(2) Where EASA AD 2024–0196 refers to its 

effective date, this AD requires using the 

effective date of this AD. 

(3) Where EASA AD 2024–0196 defines 

‘‘Affected part’’ and identifies part numbers 

and corresponding date codes as those 

‘‘listed in Section 1.A of the VSB,’’ for this 

AD, those part numbers and corresponding 

date codes are listed in Section 1.A. of Kidde 

Aerospace & Defense Service Bulletin CFD– 

26–3, dated January 13, 2022; or Revision 1, 

dated March 29, 2022. The date codes listed 

in Section 1.A. of Kidde Aerospace & Defense 

Service Bulletin CFD–26–3, dated January 13, 

2022; and Revision 1, dated March 29, 2022; 

do not apply to parts produced prior to 

November 24, 2004, or after January 31, 2021. 

(4) Where EASA AD 2024–0196 defines a 

serviceable part as ‘‘Any OHDS sensing 

element, eligible for installation in 

accordance with Airbus instructions, that is 

not an affected part,’’ for this AD replace that 

text with ‘‘Any OHDS sensing element, 

eligible for installation, that is not an affected 

part.’’ 

(5) Where paragraph (2) of EASA AD 2024– 

0196 refers to ‘‘any discrepancy as defined in 

the SB,’’ for this AD, a discrepancy is an 

incorrect electronic centralized aircraft 

monitor (ECAM) alert (one not related to AIR 

L WING LEAK) being displayed following the 

inspection of any OHDS sensing element. 

(6) Where the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2024–0196 specifies 

to send an affected part to the manufacturer, 

this AD does not include that requirement. 

(7) This AD does not adopt the ‘‘Remarks’’ 

section of EASA AD 2024–0196. 

(i) No Reporting Requirement 

Although the service information 

referenced in EASA AD 2024–0196 specifies 

to submit certain information to the 

manufacturer, this AD does not include that 

requirement. 

(j) Additional AD Provisions 

The following provisions also apply to this 

AD: 

(1) Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs): The Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested using the procedures found in 14 

CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, 

send your request to your principal inspector 

or responsible Flight Standards Office, as 

appropriate. If sending information directly 

to the Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety Branch, send it to the 

attention of the person identified in 

paragraph (k) of this AD and email to: 

AMOC@faa.gov. Before using any approved 

AMOC, notify your appropriate principal 

inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, 

the manager of the responsible Flight 

Standards Office. 

(2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any 

requirement in this AD to obtain instructions 

from a manufacturer, the instructions must 

be accomplished using a method approved 

by the Manager, AIR–520, Continued 

Operational Safety, FAA; or EASA; or Airbus 

SAS’s EASA Design Organization Approval 

(DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval 

must include the DOA-authorized signature. 

(3) Required for Compliance (RC): Except 

as required by paragraph (j)(2) of this AD, if 

any material contains procedures or tests that 

are identified as RC, those procedures and 

tests must be done to comply with this AD; 

any procedures or tests that are not identified 

as RC are recommended. Those procedures 

and tests that are not identified as RC may 

be deviated from using accepted methods in 

accordance with the operator’s maintenance 

or inspection program without obtaining 

approval of an AMOC, provided the 

procedures and tests identified as RC can be 

done and the airplane can be put back in an 

airworthy condition. Any substitutions or 

changes to procedures or tests identified as 

RC require approval of an AMOC.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for all 

Airbus SAS Model A319–111, –112, 

–113, –114, –115, –131, –132, –133, 

–151N, and –153N airplanes; A320 

series airplanes; and A321–211, –212, 

–213, –231, –232, –251N, –252N, 

–253N, –271N, –272N, –251NX, 

–252NX, –253NX, –271NX, and –272NX 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by a 

determination that a damage-tolerance 

and fatigue reassessment of nose 

landing gear (NLG) repairs is necessary 

for certain parts fitted on airplanes 

approved for operation in the 

Commonwealth of Independent States 

(CIS). This AD requires repair and
