Is AD 2013-25-07 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2013-25-07 requires a repetitive inspection every 20 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Airworthiness Directive 2013-25-07

Q: Which aircraft does AD 2013-25-07 apply to?

AD 2013-25-07 applies to Airbus Sas — models A318-111, A318-112, A318-121, A318-122, A319-111, A319-112, A319-113, A319-114. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

What this AD requires

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2007-18-09 for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2007- 18-09 required repetitive inspections of the upper support of the nose landing gear (NLG), and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary; and also provided an optional terminating action for the repetitive inspections. This new AD adds installation of a new enhanced manufacturing and maintainability (EMM) braking and steering control unit (BSCU) standard, and adds airplanes to the applicability. This AD was prompted by a determination that previously allowed terminating actions no longer address the unsafe condition and that a new terminating action is necessary. We are issuing this AD to prevent landings with the NLG turned 90 degrees from centerline, which could result in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 20 months. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Whether AD 2013-25-07 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.

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.
