According to the Airworthiness Directive (AD), issued by the EASA, the Airbus A320neo has been found to be potentially subject to an angle-of-attack (AOA) protection weakness. The AD noted what is called a “reduced efficiency” of the A320neo AOA protection under certain flight configurations can result, under certain circumstances, to excessive pitch and higher flight crew workload conditions. The EASA has said that this “potentially unsafe” condition, although never encountered during operations, was discovered during analysis and laboratory testing of the A320neo flight control laws.
