 Parking Brake Operating Valve 5/2002

 Applicability:  Airbus A319, A320 and A321 aeroplanes as specified in DGAC AD 2001-384(B)R1. Requirement:              Action per DGAC AD 2001-384(B) R1.

            Background: Airbus Industrie has advised that certain Messier Bugatti parking brake operating valves are susceptible to leakage of hydraulic fluid. This could lead to depletion of the Yellow hydraulic system fluid and render the Alternate Braking and Emergency Braking System inoperative.

            This amendment requires the repair or replacement of the affected components by 31 December 2002.

            The original issue of this directive became effective on 24 October 2001.
