Airworthiness Directive 89-03-05
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; certificated in any category. Compliance: Required as indicated, unless previously accomplished. To prevent unacceptable airframe
Which aircraft AD 89-03-05 applies to
For airplanes with the elevator power control actuator (PCA) rod end and reaction link rod end bearings lubricated at intervals of 1,000 flight hours or less (per Boeing Service Letter 757-SL-27-26, dated April 1, 1988), address unacceptable airframe vibration within 90 days after the effective date or prior to accumulating 4,000 flight hours total time-in-service, whichever occurs first.
Whether AD 89-03-05 actually applies to your aircraft (by serial and installed parts) and whether it’s already complied with comes from that aircraft’s records.
