Is AD 2009-01-09 a recurring Airworthiness Directive?

Yes — AD 2009-01-09 requires a repetitive inspection. Next-due depends on the aircraft's time in service.

Which aircraft does AD 2009-01-09 apply to?

AD 2009-01-09 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) that applies to all Airbus Model A310 series airplanes. That AD currently requires repetitive detailed inspections to detect cracks propagating from the fastener holes that attach the left- and right- hand pick-up angles at frame 40 to the wing lower skin and fuselage panel, and corrective actions if necessary. This new AD revises the intervals for accomplishing the repetitive detailed inspections and provides for an optional terminating modification for the repetitive inspections. This new AD also revises the applicability of the AD to remove certain airplanes. 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 prevent reduced structural integrity of the airplane due to fatigue damage, and consequent cracking of the pick-up angles at frame 40.

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

Excludes airplanes modified in-service per Airbus Service Bulletin A310-53-2119, dated October 25, 2005, or Revision 01, dated February 27, 2007.

Whether AD 2009-01-09 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 2009-01-09 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.
