Which aircraft AD 48-08-03 applies to

MakesNavion
Applies to all models of the make above.
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials NAV-4-2–NAV-4-1110.

Ensure full opening of fuel shutoff valve and prevent snagging of actuating wire in upholstery; compliance required as soon as possible but not later than April 1, 1948.

Whether AD 48-08-03 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 48-08-03 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.
