You can create a Basic AD List or Detailed AD Report that is Serial Number specific

If you just want the most basic AD list, click here to learn how to do that:

Need a Basic AD List?

For a full detailed Serial Number specific AD Report, create a new AD Report from within your Aircraft Profile.  *Be sure the SN is in the AC Profile.

Just click on the blue button, towards the center top of the page, that says “+Create Report“.

The AD Report has a S/N Guide column, which shows applicability.

S/N Guide Definitions:

ALL:  AD applies to all aerial numbers for this Model or Series (unless N/A by Year built)
YES:  AD applies to your serial number.
NO:  AD does not apply to your serial number
BLANK:  AD is superseded.

COMMON QUESTION:

Q:  If the AD does not apply to my serial number, why is it still in the AD List, or Report?

A:  We will never remove an AD on your behalf.  You are the IA performing the inspection, we are not.  You are the final authority on the aircraft’s airworthy status.  If you wish to remove that AD from your Report, you are welcome to do so.  Here’s how:  https://zookaviation.com/blog/2019/11/30/how-to-delete-an-ad/
