Is AD 2000-02-14 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-02-14 requires a repetitive inspection every 25 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2000-02-14 apply to?

AD 2000-02-14 applies to Cessna. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Model 182S Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 98-13- 10, which currently requires repetitively inspecting all engine exhaust muffler end plates (four total) for cracks on all Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Model 182S airplanes, and replacing any muffler where an end plate is found cracked. AD 98-13-10 also requires fabricating and installing a placard that specifies immediate inspection of all engine exhaust muffler end plates any time the engine backfires upon start-up. This AD is the result of Cessna developing an improved design exhaust system for the Model 182S airplanes. This AD retains the actions of AD 98-13-10 on all affected airplanes, and requires replacing the exhaust system with an improved design exhaust system within a certain period of time, as terminating action for those requirements retained from AD 98-13-10. This AD also limits the effectivity to exclude those airplanes manufactured with the improved design exhaust system. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct damage to the engine exhaust mufflers caused by cracking and the high stresses imposed on the attachment of the exhaust system at the area the firewall, which could result in exhaust gases entering the airplane cabin with consequent crew and passenger injury.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 25 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Part-conditional — 1254017-19, 9954200-9.

Replace cracked engine exhaust muffler end plates with improved-design P/N 1254017-19 or 9954200-9 per Cessna Service Bulletin SB98-78-03 (Dec 14, 1998); repetitive inspections required until all mufflers are replaced with the improved design.

Whether AD 2000-02-14 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.

How AD compliance is recorded

A valid compliance record (14 CFR 43.9) states:

Method of compliance — The specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.

Date — When the work was done.

Aircraft time — Total time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.

Signature & certificate — The A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.

Applicability is derived from the FAA directive corpus and is advisory, not a legal airworthiness determination. Compliance is established only from an aircraft’s actual records.
