Is AD 2014-03033 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2014-03033 requires a repetitive inspection every 1250 hours. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-03033 apply to?

AD 2014-03033 applies to Boeing — models 737-600, 737-700, 737-800, 737-900, 737-900ER, 737. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; the Boeing Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes modified by particular supplemental type certificates (STCs). This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found during inspections of the in-flight entertainment system radome assembly. This AD requires repetitive detailed inspections for cracks in the radome assembly, and replacement of the radome if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the in-flight entertainment system radome assembly, which could result in the radome (or pieces) separating from the airplane and striking the tail, and consequently reducing the controllability of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 1250 hours. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 001–497.

Part-conditional — 5063-100-V3, 5063-101-V2.

Applies to airplanes with Live TV radomes having part number 5063-100-V3 or 5063-101-V2 and a radome serial number in the range 001 through 497 inclusive, modified by STC ST00284BO or ST02887AT.

Whether AD 2014-03033 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 2014-03033 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.
