Airworthiness Directives; Aircraft Industries, a.s. Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all Aircraft Industries, a.s. Model L-420, L 410 UVP-E20, and L 410 UVP-E20 CARGO airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of the pressure plates within the main landing gear (MLG) wheel brake unit malfunctioning. This AD requires replacing certain MLG wheel brake units with serviceable parts and prohibits installing an affected part on any airplane. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Applies to all serial numbers.

Whether AD 2023-19-04 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 complianceThe specific action taken (inspected, replaced, modified) and to what revision.
DateWhen the work was done.
Aircraft timeTotal time in service / tach at compliance — how recurring next-due is computed.
Signature & certificateThe A&P/IA who returned it to service, with certificate number.
Is AD 2023-19-04 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.
