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.

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 89-03-05 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.
