AD: Airbus Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2018-04-01

PRODUCT: All Airbus Model A320-271N, A321-271N, and A321-272N airplanes.

ACTION: Final Rule, request for comments.

SUMMARY: This AD requires de-pairing certain International Aero Engines (IAE) engines in order to continue to operate affected airplanes and discontinuing extended operations (ETOPS) for airplanes with at least one affected engine.

This AD was prompted by reports of two engine in-flight shutdowns (IFSDs) and two rejected takeoffs.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 15, 2018. Comments must be received by April 2, 2018.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S. registry. This AD may impose certain operational costs. However, the FAA says it cannot calculate those costs because it does not know how often the conditions occur. Continued operational safety makes these costs necessary because of the severity of the unsafe condition. If an operator chooses to replace an affected engine, The FAA estimates it would take 8 work-hours, at $85 per hour, or $680 per product.
