Is AD 02-11803 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 02-11803 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 02-11803 apply to?

AD 02-11803 applies to Boeing — models 727-100, 727-100C, 727-200, 727-200F, 727C. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

This document corrects information in an existing airworthiness directive (AD that applies to certain Boeing Model 727, 727C, 727-100, 727-100C, 727-200, and 727-200F series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive inspections to find cracking of the lower skin panel at the lower row of fasteners in certain lap joints of the fuselage, and repair, if necessary. This document corrects a typographical error in the supplemental type certificate (STC) number specified in paragraph (i) of that AD. This correction is necessary to ensure that the correct STC number is specified and operators of affected airplanes are advised of all applicable actions.

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.

Whether AD 02-11803 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 02-11803 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.
