Is AD 02-9568 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 02-9568 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 02-9568 apply to?

AD 02-9568 applies to Airbus — models A320, A321. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to all Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. This action requires identification of the part number and serial number of the parking brake operated valve (PBOV); and, if necessary, inspection of the PBOV, including a functional check of the PBOV, and follow-on and corrective actions. This action also provides for optional terminating action for the requirements of this AD. This action is necessary to prevent loss of the yellow hydraulic system, which provides all the hydraulics for certain spoilers; elements of the hydraulics for flaps, stabilizer, pitch and yaw feel systems, pitch and yaw autopilot, and yaw damper; and elevator, rudder, and aileron. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 02-9568 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 02-9568 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.
