The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has alerted operators of the Airbus A321neo of a potential “excessive pitch” problem. The issue, as many aviation professionals have noted, is similar to the one that Boeing’s MCAS software on the 737 MAX was developed to address.
Airbus has issued a “temporary revision” to its A321neo flight manuals in order to prevent the aircraft from possibly reaching excessive pitch attitudes, according to a report by FlightGlobal. The revisions have been necessitated after analysis of the aircraft’s elevator and aileron computer, the EASA disclosed in an Airworthiness Directive (AD) on July 17, 2019.
The regulator stated that “excessive pitch attitude could occur in certain conditions and during specific maneuvers”, warning that the condition “could result in reduced control” of the aircraft.
