Is AD 2000-23-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-23-01 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2000-23-01 apply to?

AD 2000-23-01 applies to Cessna Aircraft Company — models 402C. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Model 402C Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 99-11- 13, which currently requires inspecting (one-time) the forward, aft, and auxiliary wing spars for cracks on certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Model 402C airplanes, and repairing any cracks found. AD 99- 11-13 also requires reporting the results of the inspection to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide data to help us determine whether the inspection should be repetitive. After re- evaluating the fatigue analysis for the wing spars on the affected airplanes, we have determined that spar cap cracking is not an isolated condition and could continue to develop over the life of the affected airplanes. This AD retains the inspection required in AD 99-11-13, and will make the inspection repetitive. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect and correct any cracks in the forward, aft, and auxiliary wing spars, which could result in reduced or loss of control of the airplane.

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.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 689–689, 402C0001–402C0125, 402C0201–402C0355, 402C0401–402C0528, 402C0601–402C0653, 402C0801–402C1020.

Applies to Model 402C airplanes, certificated in any category, with a serial number in one of the listed ranges.

Whether AD 2000-23-01 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.
