Is AD 2000-05-09 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2000-05-09 requires a repetitive inspection every 24 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2000-05-09 apply to?

AD 2000-05-09 applies to Boeing — models 757. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200, -200PF, and -200CB Series Airplanes Powered by Rolls-Royce RB211-535C/E4/E4B Turbofan Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 757-200, -200PF, and -200CB series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive inspections of the engine thrust control cable system to detect discrepancies of the wire rope, fittings, and pulleys; and replacement, if necessary. That AD also requires a one-time inspection to determine the part number of certain pulleys, and replacement of existing pulleys with new pulleys, if necessary; and modification of the engine thrust control cable installation. This new action corrects a certain part number. This AD is prompted by reports of failure of certain engine thrust control cables. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent failure of certain engine thrust control cables, which could result in a severe asymmetric thrust condition during landing, and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 24 months. 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 1–636.

Part-conditional — 65B80977-1, BACP30M4, 255T1232-7.

Text excerpt begins mid-AD ('This AD applies to each airplane identified in the preceding applicability provision...'); the full model/serial applicability statement precedes this slice and was not provided. Within the excerpt: paragraph (b) applies to airplanes with line numbers 1-636 for a one-time pulley P/N inspection (replace P/N 65B80977-1 or BACP30M4 with P/N 255T1232-7); paragraphs (c), (d), and (e) apply only to airplanes identified in specific Boeing Service Bulletins (757-76-1 dated 1984-05-18; 757-76-0005 dated 1988-05-05; 757-30A0018 Rev 2 dated 1999-09-09) for thrust control cable guide bracket removal, cable replacement, and support bracket installation respectively.

Whether AD 2000-05-09 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.
