Is AD 02-29675 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 02-29675 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 02-29675 apply to?

AD 02-29675 applies to Boeing — models 747SR. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

AD 02-29675 · 2002-11-26 · airframe

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100, -200B, -200C, -200F, -300, -400, -400F, and 747SR Series Airplanes, Equipped with a Main Deck Side Cargo Door (MDSCD) Manufactured by Boeing

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Boeing Model 747-100, -200B, -200C, -200F, - 300, -400, -400F, and 747SR series airplanes equipped with a MCSCD manufactured by Boeing. This action requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the lower lobe panel of the fuselage skin of the aft cargo bay, and repair if necessary. This action is necessary to find and fix cracking of the skin, which could lead to reduced structural integrity of the side cargo door cutout of the main deck, and result in rapid depressurization of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

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 02-29675 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.

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.
