Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 172R and 172S Airplanes

What this AD requires

This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2001-06-17, which was published in the Federal Register on March 30, 2001 (66 FR 17345), and concerns certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 172R and 172S airplanes. The FAA incorrectly referenced the AD number as "AD 2001-06-14" instead of "AD 2001-06-17." This AD requires a one-time inspection for proper engine idle speed and fuel control mixture setting, adjustment as necessary, and incorporation of engine operating procedures into the pilots operating handbook (POH) and FAA-approved airplane flight manual (AFM). This action corrects the AD to reflect the correct AD number.

Whether AD 01-8746 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 01-8746 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.
