The FAA has amended an earlier Airworthiness Directive for all Airbus A320-series aircraft, requiring operators to modify elevator control systems to prevent vibration problems caused by excessive freeplay. The AD applies to the A319 (which is the basis for the Airbus Corporate Jetliner), the A320 and the A321.

The amendment was issued as a final rule in August and supersedes an existing AD that currently requires repetitive measurements of the deflection of the elevator trailing edge, inspections of the elevator servo controls and their attachments and replacement of worn or damaged parts, if necessary. The version became effective on September 24.
