Airworthiness Directives; Learjet Inc. Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Learjet Inc. Model 45 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report of two cases of premature corrosion found on the structural support flange for the engine thrust reverser. This AD requires inspecting for any corrosion, and damage to the sealant; installing sealants and gaskets; and related investigative and corrective actions as necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the thrust reverser structural support, which could result in departure of the thrust reverser from the engine that could subsequently result in damage to the adjacent support structure and engine controls, airframe structure, and control surfaces. Departing thrust reversers could also result in injury to persons on the ground.

Models45
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 45-005–45-436, 45-2001–45-2132.

Applies only to airplanes equipped with composite engine fan bypass ducts. Model 45 airplanes with S/Ns 45-2001 and subsequent are marketed as 'Model 40' / Learjet 40 airplanes.

Whether AD 2014-13-06 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2014-13-06 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.
