Is AD 03-13117 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 03-13117 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 03-13117 apply to?

AD 03-13117 applies to Boeing — models 737-100, 737-200, 737-200C. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727, 737-100, 737-200, and 737-200C series airplanes, that requires one-time inspections to determine the part numbers of hydraulic accumulators installed in various areas of the airplane, and follow-on corrective actions if necessary. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent high-velocity separation of a barrel, piston, or end cap from a hydraulic accumulator. Such separation could result in injury to personnel in the accumulator area; loss of cabin pressurization; loss of affected hydraulic systems; or damage to plumbing, electrical installations, or structural members. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 03-13117 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 03-13117 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.
