Is AD 00-6160 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 00-6160 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 00-6160 apply to?

AD 00-6160 applies to Airbus — models A320, A321, A330, A340. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A319, A320, A321, A330, and A340 series airplanes, that requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual to provide the flight crew with certain instructions associated with the Global Positioning System (GPS). This amendment also requires modification of the Global Positioning System Signal Unit (GPSSU) of the satellite navigational system. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent position and altitude errors due to bad oscillator warm-up characteristics of the GPSSU, which could result in navigational errors that may exceed 0.5 nautical mile.

Whether AD 00-6160 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 00-6160 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.
