           Amendment 1 introduced SB A320-32-1187 as the Requirement document, and clarified compliance requirements.

           Amendment 2 consolidated the requirements of two previously issued Directives. This Directive includes the requirements of AD/A320/44, and requires incorporation of a modification which constitutes terminating action for the on-going repeat requirements.

           Amendment 3 clarified Requirement 1 applicability and Requirement 3 compliance; and corrected a typographical error in Requirement 1 compliance.

               Amendment 4 is issued to introduce later revisions of SB A320-32-1119 and correct a typographical error in Paragraph 2 of Compliance part of this Directive.

               Amendment 3 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 22 March 2001.

               Amendment 2 of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 30 November 2000.
