Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-07- 06, which applied to certain The Boeing Company Model 777-200, -200LR, -300, -300ER, and 777F series airplanes. AD 2012-07-06 required revising the maintenance program to update inspection requirements to detect fatigue cracking of principal structural elements (PSEs). This AD was prompted by new revisions to the airworthiness limitations of the maintenance planning document and damage tolerance rating check form document. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2025-05-10 applies to

MakesBoeing
Models777-200, 777-200LR, 777-300, 777-300ER, 777F, 777

Applies to airplanes with an original airworthiness certificate or original export certificate of airworthiness issued before September 5, 2024.

Whether AD 2025-05-10 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 2025-05-10 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.
