Is AD 2012-06-25 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 2012-06-25 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 2012-06-25 apply to?

AD 2012-06-25 applies to Goodrich. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Goodrich Evacuation Systems Approved Under Technical Standard Order (TSO) TSO-C69b and Installed on Airbus Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for Goodrich Evacuation Systems approved under TSO TSO-C69b and installed on Model A330-200 and -300 series airplanes, Model A340-200 and -300 series airplanes, and Model A340-500 and -600 series airplanes. That AD currently requires inspecting to determine the part number of the pressure relief valves on the affected Goodrich evacuation systems, and corrective action if necessary. This new AD requires inspecting to determine the part number of the pressure relief valves on the affected Goodrich evacuation systems and replacing certain pressure relief valves, and adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by reports that during workshop testing, certain pressure relief valves, which were required by the existing AD, did not seal and allowed the pressure in certain slides/ rafts to fall below the minimum raft mode pressure for the unit. We are issuing this AD to prevent loss of pressure in the escape slides/rafts after an emergency evacuation, which could result in inadequate buoyancy to support the raft's passenger capacity during ditching and increase the chance for injury to raft passengers.

Part-conditional — TSO-C69b.

Applies to Goodrich evacuation systems approved under TSO-C69b as installed on: (1) Airbus A330-201/-202/-203/-223/-243/-301/-302/-303/-321/-322/-323/-341/-342/-343/-223F/-243F airplanes identified in Goodrich Service Bulletin 7A1508/09/10/39-25-373, Revision 3, dated March 30, 2011; (2) Airbus A340-211/-212/-213/-311/-312/-313 airplanes identified in the same Goodrich SB; (3) Airbus A340-541/-642 airplanes identified in Goodrich SBs 7A1508/09/10/39-25-373 Revision 3 and 4A3928/4A3934-25-374 Revision 2, both dated March 30, 2011.

Whether AD 2012-06-25 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 2012-06-25 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.
