Is AD 2014-13-07 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 2014-13-07 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-13-07 apply to?

AD 2014-13-07 applies to Boeing — models 737-300, 737-400, 737-500, 737-600, 737-700, 737-700C, 737-800, 737-900. 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 737-300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes. This AD was prompted by a review of the tail strobe light installation, which revealed that the tail strobe light is not electrically bonded to primary structure of the airplane. This AD requires installing a new tail strobe light housing and a new disconnect bracket, and changing the wire bundles. This AD also requires, for certain airplanes, an inspection to determine if sealant is applied, and corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent, in case of a direct lightning strike to the tail strobe light, damage to the operation of other critical airplane systems due to electromagnetic coupling and large transient voltages, and damage to the control mechanisms or surfaces due to a fire, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.

Applies to airplanes identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-33-1149 (dated April 13, 2012, for -300/-400/-500) and 737-33-1146 Revision 1 (dated July 9, 2013, for -600/-700/-700C/-800/-900/-900ER). Installation of STC ST00830SE does not affect ability to accomplish the required actions; a 'change in product' AMOC is not necessary for airplanes with that STC installed.

Whether AD 2014-13-07 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 2014-13-07 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.
