Is AD 2010-15-01 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2010-15-01 requires a repetitive inspection every 6000 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2010-15-01 apply to?

AD 2010-15-01 applies to Boeing — models 757-200, 757-200CB, 757-200PF, 757-300, 767-200, 767-300, 767-300F, 767-400ER. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 757 Airplanes, Model 767 Airplanes, and Model 777-200 and -300 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Model 757 airplanes, Model 767 airplanes, and Model 777-200 and -300 series airplanes. This AD requires repetitive inspections for damage of the electrical terminal at the left and right flightdeck window 1, and corrective actions if necessary. This AD also allows for replacing the flightdeck window 1 with a new improved flightdeck window equipped with different electrical connections, which terminates the repetitive inspections for that flightdeck window 1. This AD results from several reports of electrical arcs at the terminal blocks of the electrically heated flightdeck window 1. We are issuing this AD to prevent smoke and fire in the cockpit, which could lead to loss of visibility, and injuries to or incapacitation of the flightcrew.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 6000 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Applicability per model is defined by Boeing Service Bulletin: 757-200/-200CB/-200PF per SB 757-30-0019 Rev 2 (Apr 19, 2010); 757-300 per SB 757-30-0020 Rev 2 (Mar 31, 2010); 767-200/-300/-300F per SB 767-30-0039 (Dec 5, 2007); 767-400ER per SB 767-30-0041 (Dec 5, 2007); 777-200/-300 per SB 777-30-0012 Rev 2 (Dec 19, 2007). AD addresses electrical arcing at heated flightdeck window terminal blocks.

Whether AD 2010-15-01 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 2010-15-01 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.
