Airbus Software Alert LIVE: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Saturday issued a mandatory safety directive for Airbus A318, A319, A320 and A321 aircraft.
The DGCA notification states: “Inspection and/or modification in the following subject is mandatory. Please make the necessary changes in the list of mandatory modifications below. It must be ensured that no person operates the product subject to this mandatory modification except those that comply with the requirement of mandatory modifications/relevant airworthiness directives.”
According to an Airbus press release, an analysis of a recent incident involving an A320 family aircraft revealed that intense solar radiation can damage data critical to the operation of flight controls. Immediate precautions were taken to avoid unforeseen incidents and software and hardware were updated.
This caused several flights around the world to face delays as Airbus aircraft were temporarily grounded for safety and security checks. Here you will find all Airbus LIVE software updates
