Airworthiness Directives; Aerospace Technologies of Australia Pty Ltd. (Formerly Government Aircraft Factory) Models N22B, N24A, and N22S Airplanes; Correction

What this AD requires

This action makes a correction to an airworthiness directive (AD) that was published in the Federal Register on November 12, 1996 (61 FR 57993), and concerns Aerospace Technologies of Australia Pty Ltd. (ASTA) Models N22B, N24A, and N22S airplanes. The AD number for that action should be AD 96-23-18, but was referenced as AD 96-23-03. The AD currently requires replacing the existing fuselage stub fin plate with one of improved design. This action corrects the AD to reflect the correct AD number.

applicability derived from the AD summary — confirm the model/serial from the records

Whether AD 96-31264 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 96-31264 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.
