Is AD 2003-09-09 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2003-09-09 requires a repetitive inspection every 600 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2003-09-09 apply to?

AD 2003-09-09 applies to Cessna Aircraft Company — models Conquest, Caravan. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 441 and F406 Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2002- 09-13, which currently requires a one-time inspection of the fuel boost pump wiring inside and outside the boost pump reservoir and repair or replacement of the wiring as necessary on certain Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Model 441 airplanes. AD 2002-09-13 resulted from several reports of chafing and/or arcing of the fuel boost pump wiring inside and outside the fuel pump reservoir. This AD retains the actions required in AD 2002-09-13, makes the one-time inspection repetitive, requires the inspection and possible replacement of the wire harness, lead wires and fuel boost pump on Model F406 airplanes, and requires eventual installation of an improved design wire harness and fuel boost pump as terminating action for the repetitive inspections. The actions specified by this AD are intended to detect, correct, and prevent chafing and/or arcing fuel boost pump wiring, which could result in arcing within the wing fuel storage system. Such a condition could lead to ignition of explosive vapor within the fuel storage system.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 600 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

ModelsConquest, Caravan

Specific model/serial applicability is in paragraph (a), not captured in the extracted text; actions per Cessna Conquest SB CQB02-1 Rev 2 (2002-10-07) and Reims/Cessna Caravan SB CAB02-8 (2002-06-03); supersedes AD 2002-09-13, Amendment 39-12746.

Whether AD 2003-09-09 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.
