                   3. Remove the Requirement 1 dispatch limitations.
                Note:  EASA AD 2008-0032 refers.
Compliance:     For Requirement 1 - Within seven days after the effective date of this Directive

                This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 5 June 2008.
Background:     The EASA has advised that two incidents have occurred due to the lack of visibility on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) indications.
                EIS2 standard S7 introduces modifications to the vertical speed indication to improve the legibility in case of TCAS Resolution Advisory.  The modifications consist in changing the colour of the needle and increasing the width of the TCAS green band.
                This Directive supersedes AD/A320/157 Amdt 2 (EASA AD 2006-0108), which is cancelled, by revising the applicability and mandating the installation of the improved EIS2 standard S7.
