Airworthiness Directives; Cirrus Design Corporation Models SR20 and SR22 Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Cirrus Design Corporation (CDC) Models SR20 and SR22 airplanes. This AD requires you to replace the pick-up collar support and nylon screws, of the Cirrus Airplane Parachute System (CAPS), with a new design pick-up collar support and custom tension screws. This AD results from a CDC report of an in-flight CAPS activation where the parachute failed to successfully deploy. We are issuing this AD to correct pick-up collar support fasteners of the CAPS, which could result in the premature separation of the collar. This condition, if not corrected, could result in the parachute failing to successfully deploy (CAPS failure).

MakesCirrus Design Corporation
ModelsSR20, SR22
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 1005–1798, 0002–2437.

Serial numbers 1005 through 1798 apply to Model SR20; serial numbers 0002 through 2437 apply to Model SR22. Applies only if the actions of Cirrus Alert Service Bulletin No. SB A2X-95-10 R1 (issued April 2, 2007, revised April 10, 2007) have not been incorporated in their entirety.

Whether AD 2007-14-03 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 2007-14-03 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.
