Airworthiness Directive 99-23-24
one-timeAirworthiness Directives; AlliedSignal, Instrument Landing System Navigation Receivers, as Installed in, but Not Limited to, Airbus Model A300 Series Airplanes and Boeing Model 747-100, -100B, -100B SUD, - 200B, -200F, -200C, -300, 747SR, and 747SP Series Airplanes
What this AD requires
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain instrument landing system (ILS) navigation receivers manufactured by AlliedSignal. This action requires replacement of certain resistors in the ILS navigation receiver with higher ohm resistors and replacement of the nameplate on the receiver with a new nameplate. This amendment is prompted by reports of ILS navigation receivers incorrectly indicating signals from the glideslope ground station during final approach. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure the ILS receiver provides the flight crew with accurate glideslope data. Inaccurate glideslope data could result in an approach off the glideslope, and, consequently, a landing short of the runway or a runway overrun.
Which aircraft AD 99-23-24 applies to
Applies to AlliedSignal RIA-32A ILS navigation receivers having P/N 2070724-3201 and -3203, as installed on any airplane, regardless of airframe modification/alteration/repair. Units with serial numbers 1-2365 require resistor replacement (Bendix/King SB RIA-32A-34-47 Rev 1) plus nameplate replacement (SB RIA-32A-34-48); units with serial number 2366 and subsequent require only the nameplate replacement.
Whether AD 99-23-24 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:
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.
