Is AD 00-21053 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 00-21053 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 00-21053 apply to?

AD 00-21053 applies to Fairchild — models SA-227-AC, SA-227-TT, SA226-AT, SA226-T, SA226-TC, SA227-AT. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Fairchild Aircraft, Inc. Models SA226-T, SA226-AT, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-AT, SA-227-TT, and SA-227-AC Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 92-01- 02, which currently requires you to accomplish the following on certain Fairchild Aircraft SA226 and SA227 series airplanes: modify the parking brake system; and inspect (repetitively) certain landing gear brake assemblies. That AD resulted from wheel brake system malfunctions on several of the affected airplanes where regular brake system maintenance had been performed. This AD retains the modification and inspection requirements of AD 92-01-02 and incorporates inspection and replacement requirements for additional landing gear brake assemblies. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent wheel brake system malfunctions that could result in a fire in the brake area.

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

Whether AD 00-21053 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 00-21053 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.
