What this AD requires
This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002-17-02 applicable to Pratt & Whitney JT8D series turbofan engines that was published in the Federal Register on August 28, 2002 (67 FR 55108). The first sentence in the amendatory language that states "2. Section 39.13 is amended by removing Amendment 39-11940 (65 FR 65731, November 2, 2000) and by adding a new airworthiness directive to read as follows:" is incorrect. This document corrects that sentence. In all other respects, the original document remains the same.
Which aircraft AD 02-22759 applies to
Whether AD 02-22759 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:
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.
