Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Limited PC-12 and PC-12/45 Airplanes

What this AD requires

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as executive seats equipped with pedestal legs that were produced using a material that deviates from the approved design data. We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

Which aircraft AD 2007-03-06 applies to

MakesPilatus Aircraft Ltd.
ModelsPC-12, PC-12/45
Serial-conditional — narrows to serials 101–683.
Part-conditional — 403150-1, 403150-2.

Applies only to airplanes equipped with executive passenger seats Model Number 4006 manufactured by DeCrane Aircraft Seating Company, Inc., Vendor Part Number (VPN) 403150-1 or 403150-2, with serial numbers identified in DeCrane Aircraft Mandatory Service Bulletin SB05147 Revision B, dated June 26, 2006.

Whether AD 2007-03-06 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 2007-03-06 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.
