SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 20180255, dated November 27, 2018 EASA AD
20180255 also referred to as the MCAI, to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A319
111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 131, 132, and 133 airplanes; Model A320211, 212, 214, 215, 216, 231, 232, and 233 airplanes; and Model A321111, 112, 131, 211, 212, 213, 231, and 232 airplanes. Model A320215
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 FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A319111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 131, 132, and 133 airplanes; Model A320211, 212, 214, 215, 216, 231, 232, and 233 airplanes; and Model A321111, 112, 131, 211, 212, 213, 231, and 232 airplanes.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 1, 2021 86 FR
48919. The NPRM was prompted by a report that during re-engineering of galley G5, a 9G forward full scale qualification test was performed, and the door of the waste compartment opened before the required load was reached. The NPRM proposed to require modifying the waste compartment door of each affected galley, as specified in EASA AD 20180255.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address failure of the galley door and release of trolleys during a rejected take-off or an emergency landing, which could result in injury to occupants. See the MCAI for additional background information.
Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive
68895
for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM.
None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
EASA AD 20180255 describes procedures for modifying the waste compartment door of each affected galley. The modification includes installing a door catch bracket and a new striker.
Safran has issued Zodiac Galleys Europe Service Bulletin 21351025
001, Revision B, dated January 28, 2018;
Zodiac Galleys Europe Service Bulletin 21351025001, Revision C, dated May 24, 2018; and Safran Service Bulletin 21351025001, Revision D, dated August 15, 2019. This service information describes procedures for modifying the waste compartment door of each affected galley by installing a door catch bracket and striker. These documents are distinct because they contain revised instructions and figures.
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.
Comments The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of the cost to the public.
Costs of Compliance
Conclusion The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Except
The FAA estimates that this AD
affects 141 airplanes of U.S. registry.
The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
ESTIMATED COSTS FOR REQUIRED ACTIONS
Labor cost
Parts cost
Cost per product
Cost on U.S.
operators
5 work-hours $85 per hour = $425

According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected operators. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for affected operators.
As a result, the FAA has included all known costs in the cost estimate.
Authority for This Rulemaking Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAAs authority to issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII:
