Airworthiness Directives; Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Lockheed Martin Corporation/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J airplanes; and Model C-130A, HP- C-130A, EC-130Q, 282-44A-05 (C-130B), C-130B, and C-130H airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating a quality audit found aft fuselage sloping longerons manufactured with an overaged condition. This AD requires a conductivity check on certain aft fuselage sloping longerons and applicable on-condition actions. This AD also limits the installation of certain aft fuselage sloping longerons under certain conditions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Applies to Lockheed Martin Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, 382G, and 382J airplanes, and to restricted-category redesignations (C-130A, C-130B, HP-C-130A, EC-130Q/C-130H, and 282-44A-05) held by various operators per their respective Type Certificate Data Sheets, including surplus Model C-130A airplanes.

Whether AD 2023-11-10 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 2023-11-10 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.
