Is AD 01-18137 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 01-18137 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 01-18137 apply to?

AD 01-18137 applies to Boeing — models 737, 757-200, 757-200CB, 757-300. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727, 737, 757-200, 757-200CB, and 757-300 series airplanes. This AD requires modification of the latch assembly of the escape slides. For certain airplanes, this AD also requires installation of a cover assembly on the trigger housing of the inflation cylinder on the escape slides. This action is necessary to prevent failure of an escape slide to deploy or inflate correctly, which could result in the slide being unusable during an emergency evacuation and consequent injury to passengers or airplane crewmembers. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 01-18137 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 01-18137 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.
