What this AD requires
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the product 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:
Which aircraft AD 2008-22-23 applies to
Applies only to engines with clutch, part number 05-7211-K000304, installed. Installed on, but not limited to, Cessna 172 and (Reims-built) F172 series (STC No. SA01303WI) and Diamond DA42 airplanes.
Whether AD 2008-22-23 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.
