Is AD 2014-25-09 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2014-25-09 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2014-25-09 apply to?

AD 2014-25-09 applies to Boeing — models 737-100, 737-200, 737-200C, 737-300, 737-400, 737-500, 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 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of fatigue cracking in the skin assembly and bear strap of the aft lower corner of the forward airstair stowage doorway. This AD requires repetitive inspections for cracking of the skin assembly and bear strap of the forward airstair stowage doorway; post-repair and post-modification inspections for certain airplanes; and related investigative and corrective actions, if necessary. This AD also provides optional terminating actions for certain inspections. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking, which could result in rapid loss of cabin pressure.

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

Applies to airplanes identified in Boeing Service Bulletin 737-53-1058, Revision 4, dated January 9, 2014. Installation of STC ST01219SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD; no change-in-product AMOC approval request is necessary for airplanes with that STC installed.

Whether AD 2014-25-09 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 2014-25-09 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.
