Can I give you my A&P's phone number, and you can talk to him? :-)Originally Posted by Frank Giger
(actually, CURRENT A&P is an EAAer...)
Anyway, previous A&P required me to show compliance with a 40-year-old AD on my magnetos.
The last guidance I heard, is that it depends on the actual wording of the AD. If it says it applies to ALL aircraft using that item, you're stuck, even if you have an experimental. Any limitations in the AD note can be worked to your advantage.
However, if the data plate doesn't match what the callout in the AD says, it also doesn't apply. So if the engine data tag says, "Smith O-235," only ADs issued against Smith O-235s apply.
