The new procedure applies to
all MSNs across the fleet (A318, A319, A320 and A321).
The new procedure was mandated by EASA AD 2014-0221 this summer. It covers recovery from problems not originally considered as part of the old procedure. All AFMs were to be amended by a TR including this procedure by the end of October, 2014.
