Airworthiness Directives; Honda Aircraft Company LLC Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-18- 03, which applied to certain Honda Aircraft Company LLC (Honda) Model HA-420 airplanes. AD 2022-18-03 required incorporating temporary revisions into the airplane flight manual (AFM) and the quick reference handbook (QRH) that modify procedures for windshield heat operation until the affected windshield assemblies are replaced. This AD retains all actions required by AD 2022-18-03 and corrects typographical errors in certain document numbers specified in certain paragraphs of the regulatory information. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 42000011–42000179, 42000182–42000182, 42000187–42000187.

Applies only if a windshield assembly with a part number and serial number listed in table 5 of Honda Aircraft Company Alert Service Bulletin SB-420-56-002, Revision B, dated April 19, 2021, is installed.

Whether AD 2023-11-03 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 2023-11-03 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.
