Is AD 2000-15-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-15-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 60 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Airworthiness Directives; CFM International CFM56-2, -2A, -2B, -3, -3B, -3C, -5, -5A, -5B, -5C Series Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to CFM International (CFMI) CFM56-2, -2A, -2B, -3, -3B, -3C, -5, -5A, -5B, -5C series turbofan engines, that requires initial and repetitive visual inspections of the fuel pump filter cover helicoil inserts and bolts for damage, and, if necessary, repair or replacement with serviceable parts. This amendment also requires the installation of new or reworked fuel pumps that incorporate an improved filter cover retention design (D-bolts), or an on-wing repair of existing fuel pumps, as terminating action to the inspections. This amendment is prompted by reports that fuel pump filter cover helicoil inserts have loosened or pulled out. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent fuel leakage from between the fuel pump filter cover and gear housing, which could result in an engine fire and damage to the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 60 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 2000-15-01 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.

Tailplate reads a tail number’s logbooks and matches every applicable AD — including this one — to its compliance evidence, with recurring next-due dates computed.

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.
