Is AD 2009-11-12 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2009-11-12 requires a repetitive inspection every 12 months. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2009-11-12 apply to?

AD 2009-11-12 applies to Airbus — models A310. Serial/part conditions may narrow it to specific aircraft.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A310 Series Airplanes

What this AD requires

The FAA is superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD), which applies to certain Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive inspections of the fuselage skin to detect corrosion or fatigue cracking around and under the chafing plates of the wing root; repetitive inspections for fatigue cracking of frame 39, stringer 35; and corrective actions if necessary. The existing AD also provides for an optional terminating action for certain repetitive inspections, except for certain areas where corrosion was detected and reworked. This new AD reduces the intervals for accomplishing repetitive inspections in a certain area. This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. We are issuing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracks and corrosion around and under the chafing plates of the wing root, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Repetitive inspection. Re-inspect every 12 months. The next-due date/hours depend on this aircraft’s time in service — a records report computes it from the logbooks.

ModelsA310

Applies to airplanes on which Airbus Modifications 8888 and 8889 have NOT been accomplished.

Whether AD 2009-11-12 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 2009-11-12 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.
