Is AD 2000-02-20 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-02-20 requires a repetitive inspection every 3000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2000-02-20 apply to?

AD 2000-02-20 applies to Boeing — models 767. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Series Airplanes Equipped With General Electric Model CF6-80C2 Series Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 767 series airplanes, that currently requires tests, inspections, and adjustments of the thrust reverser system. That AD also requires installation of a terminating modification, and repetitive follow-on actions. This amendment reduces the repetitive intervals for the follow-on actions. This amendment is prompted by reports indicating that several center drive units (CDU's) of the thrust reverser system were returned to the manufacturer of the CDU's because of low holding torque of the CDU cone brake. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure the integrity of the fail safe features of the thrust reverser system by preventing possible failure modes in the thrust reverser control system that can result in inadvertent deployment of a thrust reverser during flight.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 3000 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 1–474.

Applies to Boeing 767 airplanes identified in the (truncated) preceding applicability provision, including those previously modified/altered/repaired in the affected area. Restates AD 95-13-12 R1 repetitive thrust-reverser system tests/inspections/adjustments (Boeing SB 767-78-0047 Rev 3); the line-number range 1-474 governs installation of a third locking system on the left- and right-hand engine thrust reversers under paragraph (c).

Whether AD 2000-02-20 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.

Is AD 2000-02-20 complied with on your aircraft?

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.
