Airworthiness Directives
Airworthiness Directive research, applicability review, compliance tracking, and planning services that help aircraft owners maintain airworthiness and stay ahead of FAA requirements.
Understanding Airworthiness Directives
Airworthiness Directives are legally enforceable FAA requirements that address identified safety concerns.
New directives are issued regularly, and applicability varies based on aircraft model, serial number, installed equipment, engines, and propellers.
Missing an applicable directive can affect aircraft airworthiness, resale value, insurance considerations, and operational readiness.
Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are issued by the FAA to address unsafe conditions affecting aircraft, engines, propellers, and components. Universal Aircraft Solutions helps owners identify applicable directives, understand compliance requirements, track recurring obligations, and develop a clear plan for maintaining airworthiness.

What is an Airworthiness Directive?
An Airworthiness Directive is a legally enforceable FAA regulation issued to correct an unsafe condition found in an aircraft, engine, propeller, or component.
How often should Airworthiness Directives be reviewed?
Airworthiness Directives should be reviewed during annual inspections, before aircraft purchases, during major maintenance events, and whenever maintenance records are evaluated.
Are all Airworthiness Directives recurring?
No. Some directives require a one-time action, while others require inspections or maintenance at recurring intervals based on hours, cycles, or calendar time.
Why is AD research important when buying an aircraft?
AD research helps identify overdue requirements, incomplete documentation, recurring obligations, and potential maintenance expenses that could affect the value of an aircraft purchase.
