NTSB records whose airframe serial does not match the aircraft currently holding the registration are excluded, as are service difficulty reports filed while a registration belonged to a different aircraft. U.S. registrations get reused; these counts are reconciled to the airframes actually in this fleet.

We are issuing this document to help eliminate any confusion that this AD may have created in the Informat

ADs published since 1995 in our Federal Register database — the full list of directives applicable to an older airframe is longer; build it at drs.faa.gov. Open/superseded status reflects our last sync. Compliance for a specific airframe can only be verified in its logbooks — that's exactly what our per-aircraft report flags.
