ACTION: Final Rule.

SUMMARY:  This AD was prompted by a static analysis performed by Airbus SAS that revealed some areas of the wing structure cannot sustain the damage limits previously published in certain structural repair manuals.

This AD requires an inspection to determine whether repair or damage to certain wing areas is beyond the allowable limits; and repair if necessary.

DATES: This AD is effective October 2, 2018.

COST: The FAA estimates that this AD affects 128 airplanes of U.S. registry. The cost of compliance is estimated as follows:

  • Inspection - Up to 18 work-hours × $85 per hour = $1,530 per aircraft
