What this AD requires

This document corrects information that appeared in airworthiness directive (AD) 96-12-20, amendment 39-9663, that was published in the Federal Register on June 10, 1996 (61 FR 29279). This AD is applicable to certain Lockheed Model 382, 382B, 382E, 382F, and 382G series airplanes. Among other things, it requires visual inspections to detect loose, missing, or deformed fasteners in the upper truss mounts of certain engines. This action corrects a reference to the outboard and inboard engines, which should have referred to the outboard and inboard truss mounts.

Whether AD 96-20872 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.

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.
