Is AD 2013-08-14 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2013-08-14 requires a repetitive inspection every 50 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2013-08-14 apply to?

AD 2013-08-14 applies to Revo, Incorporated — models COLONIAL C-1, COLONIAL C-2, LA-4, LA-4A, LA-4P, LA-4-200, COLONIAL C. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Revo, Incorporated Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Revo, Incorporated Models COLONIAL C-1, COLONIAL C-2, LAKE LA-4, LAKE LA-4A, LAKE LA-4P, and LAKE LA-4-200 airplanes. That AD currently requires a one-time, dye-penetrant inspection of the horizontal stabilizer attachment fitting and repetitive visual inspections of the fitting for any evidence of fretting, cracking, or corrosion (with necessary replacement and modification); replacement of the fitting upon reaching the 850-hours time-in-service (TIS) safe life; and reporting to the FAA the results of the initial inspection and any cracks found on repetitive inspections. This new AD requires the same actions of AD 2005-12-02 except using revised service documents and procedures, adds Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes to the Applicability, and adds an optional terminating action for the requirements. This AD was prompted by a report from Revo, Incorporated that, while the drawing numbers are different, the attachment fittings on the Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes are identical in every other respect to those installed on the airplanes referenced in AD 2005-12- 02. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 50 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

The applicability window extracted from the raw AD text was corrupted (it captured NPRM discussion prose following a stray use of the word 'Applicability', not the actual applicability section); hardware named here is taken from the FAA abstract for this document instead. This AD supersedes AD 2005-12-02, requires the same actions using revised service documents, adds Model COLONIAL C-1 airplanes to the applicability (its attachment fitting is identical in every respect but drawing number to the fitting on the other listed models), and adds an optional terminating action.

Whether AD 2013-08-14 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.
