EASA issued AD 2007-0067R1 today that requires certain Airbus A319s and A320s to undergo
"repetitive internal inspection of the lower stiffeners, and a repetitive external inspection of the lower panels in center and outer wing box at level of Rib 1 junction."
EASA issued the AD because some taperloks used in the wing-to-fuselage junction at the rib did not meet specifications and resulted in loss of proper fastener tension.
This AD supersedes AD 2007-0067. The main changes are the wording in paragraph 2.1 of the compliance section.
I've being searching about Aircrafts and reading your blog, I found your post very helpful :) . I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading.

No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.
