Is AD 03-24487 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 03-24487 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 03-24487 apply to?

AD 03-24487 applies to Airbus — models B4-600R, F4-600R. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Airbus Model A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4- 600R (collectively called A300-600) series airplanes, and Airbus Model A310 series airplanes, that currently requires replacement of Honeywell inertial reference units (IRU) with new or modified Honeywell IRUs. For certain airplanes, that existing AD also requires replacement of Litton IRUs, mode selector units (MSU), and an inertial sensor display unit (ISDU) with new Honeywell IRUs, MSUs, and a new ISDU. This amendment removes the requirement to replace the Litton IRUs, MSUs, and ISDU with Honeywell IRUs, MSUs, and ISDU. This amendment also allows the use of certain Honeywell IRUs as spare parts until the final compliance date of this AD. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent loss of positioning data and a display of incorrect attitude data, which could compromise the ability of the flightcrew to maintain the safe flight and landing of the airplane. This action is intended to address the identified unsafe condition.

Whether AD 03-24487 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.
