Is AD 2013-25-04 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2013-25-04 requires a repetitive inspection every 18 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of failures of the emergency slide on the forward passenger door, which prevented the door from opening. This AD requires repetitive re-packing of certain forward door escape slides. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the emergency slide, which can prevent the forward passenger door from opening, and which could result in impeded emergency evacuation and possible subsequent injury to passengers and flightcrew.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 18 months. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Applies only when equipped with Goodrich escape slides: ERJ 170 models with P/N 4A4030-5; ERJ 190 models with P/N 104003-2.

Whether AD 2013-25-04 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 2013-25-04 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.
