AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
1. GENERAL
The ALS Part 1 provides mandatory instructions and airworthiness limitations for the “safe-life”
structure, i.e.: structure for which the damage tolerance concept is impractical. These
airworthiness limitations are established as necessary to prevent catastrophic failure and shall
be complied with, as per EASA Part M.A.302 – Aircraft Maintenance Program. They are coming
from the damage tolerance and fatigue evaluation of the structure.
2. APPLICABILITY
The A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS Part 1 applies to the following aircraft series, models and
Weight Variants (WV):

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
The list of the approved WV is provided in the Type Certification Data Sheet (TCDS) N° A.064
issued by the EASA, together with associated modification configuration(s).
© AIRBUS SAS 2016. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
To determine the applicable WV at the time of aircraft delivery, refer to the list of modifications
embodied during production, provided to the initial Operator of the aircraft, in the delivery
documentation (Aircraft Inspection Report ‘Conformity to Design Standard Requirements’).
A WV status may change as a result of the embodiment of Airbus’ SB.
Note 1: Appendix C reminds the modifications, SB and operational weights associated to the
approved WV.
Operators that utilize aircraft which embody modification introducing Multiple Weight Variants
(MWVs) must always use the airworthiness limitations belonging to the WV that has the most
restrictive airworthiness limitations, even when switching from the most restrictive WV to a less
restrictive WV, unless otherwise stated.
Note 2: Appendix C provides the limitations applicability to be considered for a given Multiple
Weight Variant.
ALS Part 1 manual contains, in SECTION 4, components having a life limit due to failure during
fatigue tests. Their Part Number (PNR) are labelled “LL” in the table.
ALS Part 1 manual contains, in SECTION 4, components having a demonstrated fatigue life
without failure. Their PNR are labelled “DF” in the table.
For these components, the life limitation provided (in usage parameters, e.g.: Flight Hours,
Landings, etc. as applicable) may evolve depending on fatigue tests result. If the component
fails, its Part Number (PNR) will be at last labelled “LL” in the table.
5. BASIC RULES
The starting point is the date at which the component accomplishes the first flight for which it will
undertake its intended function, unless otherwise stated.
The life limitation for a PNR is to be counted from the first flight of the component, unless
otherwise stated.
Note: The clock is not reset for in-service PNR evolution, unless otherwise stated.
5.2 TRACEABILITY
© AIRBUS SAS 2016. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
Safe Life Airworthiness Limitation Items (SL-ALI) have to be considered as “service life limited
components” or “life-limited parts” and therefore it is necessary to assure traceability and
monitoring of these components as per EASA Part M.A.305 - Aircraft continuing airworthiness
record system.
Where the complete life history of a component/item is not known, Operators are requested to
refer to the In-Service Information ISI 00.05.00002 for guidance. It provides the means to
manage such components/items. It has been issued in agreement with the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA).
Note: Traceability and monitoring of “life-limited” components which are listed in SECTION 4 are
not required for consumable components (for which replacement is controlled at
assembly/aircraft level).
In order to maintain aircraft airworthiness, Operators shall replace components listed under
SECTION 4 at or prior to whichever of the life limitations occurs first, after any necessary
adjustment of the stated life limitations in accordance with the instructions of paragraph 5.4 of
this Section.
The airworthiness limitation(s) for a component fitted to an aircraft may be different when:
- The component is transferred to another application (aircraft type, aircraft model, weight
variant, etc…),
- The aircraft configuration is changed as a result of MOD/SB embodiment (weight variant,
Landing Gear standard, etc…).
In these cases, the component’s remaining life must be calculated using the following formula:
Ca j
Tri 1 Cp i
Cp
j
With:
Tri = component’s remaining life for operation on current application i.
Caj = component’s accumulated life on previous application j.
Cpj = component’s airworthiness limitation in previous application j.
Cpi = component’s airworthiness limitation in current application i.
Note 1: When using the above formula, Tri, Caj, Cpj, Cpi are expressed in the same usage
parameter (e.g. FH or FC or LDG): Usage parameters cannot be mixed in the same calculation.
Note 2: The remaining life calculation must be reassessed every time the component’s
airworthiness limitation(s) change(s) for current and/or previous aircraft application(s) to which
the component is/was fitted.
© AIRBUS SAS 2016. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document.
AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
When the components reach the life limitations, disposal/quarantine action shall be taken, as
per EASA Part M.A.504 - Control of unserviceable components, which asks for a status of
service life limited components and a service life limited components log card.
Disposal/quarantine action depends on the following categories:
- For “life-limited” components labelled “LL” and listed in the SECTION 4: They
shall be mutilated beyond repair limits to prevent rework to appear to be
airworthy.
Note: Supplier shall be kept informed.
- For components, whose fatigue lives have been demonstrated, labelled “DF”
and listed in the SECTION 4: Appropriate means shall be implemented to
deter their installation on aircraft pending possible extension of their life
limitations. Examples of means are :
Record keeping system,
Non-permanent markings,
Segregation (components stored separately from those currently
eligible for installation).
The ultimate solution is the mutilation beyond repair limits to prevent rework to
appear to be airworthy, as per AMC M.A.504 – Control of unserviceable
components.
Note: When consumable components are removed, they must be mutilated beyond repair limits
to prevent rework to appear to be airworthy.
PNR provided by SECTION 4 relates to detail components. They may not all be listed in
Illustrated Parts Catalogue (IPC) issued by Airbus.
For wing structure and landing gear components manufactured by Airbus, detail PNR are listed
in the relevant Airbus engineering drawings/Component Maintenance Manual manufacturer
(CMMm) issued by Airbus.
For landing gears, detail PNR are listed in the relevant Illustrated Parts List (IPL)/Component
Maintenance Manual (CMM) issued by vendors.
Landing gear manufacturer Service Bulletin (SB) has been/will be issued to provide information
on procurable replacement PNR, detail PNR and applicable SB:

AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS SECTION
Limitations of the ALS Part 1 may be negated by instructions and/or airworthiness limitations
given in either a production concession, a Repair Design Approval Sheet (RDAS), an ALS
Variation, an Alternative Method Of Compliance (AMOC), an Airworthiness Directive (AD) or
exemptions provided by National Aviation Authorities (e.g. exemption supported by ASAC –
Airbus Statement of Airworthiness Compliance).
When limitations change in a Revision of the ALS Part 1 subsequent to the issuance date of the
production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC, Operators are requested to contact Airbus for
guidance to establish impact on the production concession/repair solution/AD/AMOC.
If an aircraft/component has a modification or repair embodied, that has not been developed
under the authority of Airbus Design Organization Approval (DOA) No EASA.21J.031, and
affects the content of the ALS, the Design Approval Holder (e.g. Supplementary Type Certificate
(STC) holder) is responsible to provide any necessary adaptations of the ALS Part 1
airworthiness limitations.
