Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 727 and Model 737 Series Airplanes Equipped with J.C. Carter Company Fuel Valve Actuators

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Boeing Model 727 and Model 737 series airplanes, that requires replacement of the actuator of the engine fuel shutoff valve and the fuel system crossfeed valve with an improved actuator. This amendment is prompted by a report indicating that, during laboratory tests, the actuator clutch on the engine fuel shutoff and crossfeed valves failed to function properly. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent improper functioning of these actuators, which could result in a fuel imbalance due to the inability of the flightcrew to crossfeed fuel; improperly functioning actuators also could prevent the pilot from shutting off the fuel to the engine following an engine failure and/or fire.

Equipped with

Whether AD 98-24245 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 98-24245 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.
