Is AD 96-05-07 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 96-05-07 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 96-05-07 apply to?

AD 96-05-07 applies to Boeing — models 757. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757 Series Airplanes Equipped with Pratt & Whitney Engines

What this AD requires

This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 757 series airplanes, that currently requires repetitive inspections to detect cracking in the midspar fuse pins and replacement of certain fuse pins. This amendment requires inspection of certain fuse pins, and replacement of certain fuse pins with certain other fuse pins. This amendment also requires inspections of refinished straight fuse pins and replacement of cracked refinished straight fuse pins with certain other straight fuse pins. This amendment is prompted by the development of new corrosion- resistant steel fuse pins. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent cracking of the midspar fuse pins, which may lead to separation of the strut and engine from the wing of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

Part-conditional — 311N5067-1, 311N5217-1.

Extracted text begins at the standard 'preceding applicability provision' boilerplate; the AD's actual model/serial list precedes this excerpt and was not captured by extraction. Addresses cracking of midspar fuse pins (strut-to-wing attachment) on Boeing 757 airplanes: straight fuse pin P/N 311N5067-1 (new or refinished) inspected/replaced per Boeing SB 757-54A0019 Rev 5 (March 17, 1994); alternative replacement is a 15-5PH fuse pin, P/N 311N5217-1.

Whether AD 96-05-07 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 96-05-07 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.
