EASA Issues AD for A320/330/340 Flight Manuals
Undesirable nose-down pitch may be commanded in case of blocked AOA probes.

The European Aviation Safety Agency recently published an airworthiness directive (AD) for the flight manuals of the Airbus A320, A330 and A340 series to address an undesirable nose-down movement that could occur should an angle-of-attack (AOA) probe on the aircraft become blocked. The AD was issued as the result of a benign occurrence reported on an A321. The FAA followed up with emergency AD 2014-25-52.
