Is AD 98-316 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

No — AD 98-316 is a one-time directive. Verify it was complied with in the aircraft's records.

Which aircraft does AD 98-316 apply to?

AD 98-316 applies to Airbus — models A300-600. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series airplanes. This action requires a one-time inspection of the attachment bolts and washers for the forward cargo container and pallet latches in the aft cargo compartment to determine if bolts and washers having the correct part numbers are installed; and replacement of the bolts and washers with parts having the correct part numbers, if necessary. This AD also requires revising the Airplane Flight Manual and certain supplements to specify certain cargo loading procedures that must be used until the inspection is accomplished. This amendment is prompted by issuance of mandatory continuing airworthiness information by a foreign civil airworthiness authority. The actions specified in this AD are intended to prevent cargo from shifting in flight, and consequent structural damage and reduced controllability of the airplane.

Whether AD 98-316 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 98-316 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.
