Is AD 03-22703 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 03-22703 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 03-22703 apply to?

AD 03-22703 applies to Aerospatiale — models ATR72. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Aerospatiale Model ATR42-200, -300, -320, and -500 Series Airplanes; and Model ATR72 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to all Aerospatiale Model ATR42-200, -300, -320, and - 500 series airplanes; and all Model ATR72 series airplanes; that currently requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to modify procedures for calculating takeoff performance when Type II or IV de- icing or anti-icing fluids have been used. This amendment requires revising the existing AFM revision to correct the performance values for Model ATR-72 series airplanes and to provide an additional method of compliance for all airplanes. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a civil aviation authority. The actions specified by this AD are intended to ensure that the flightcrew is advised of the potential effects of Type II or IV de- icing or anti-icing fluids on the airplane's performance during takeoff, and to ensure that the flightcrew is advised of the revised performance calculations for takeoff to address these effects.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 03-22703 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 03-22703 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.
