Every FAA Airworthiness Directive since 2018, one page each, with the parts it names

3,115 final ADs from the Federal Register, each with what it requires, the aircraft it applies to, the part numbers it names with NSN cross-references, who sells them here, whether DLA is buying, the proposed rule behind it and what it supersedes.

An Airworthiness Directive is the FAA telling operators that something on a type of aircraft must be inspected, replaced or modified by a date. The Federal Register publishes them as legal text. We have been loading them daily since Tuesday to flag directives that name parts our sellers list; today they get pages of their own.

What is on an AD page

  • The requirement in plain language, the effective date, the docket and citation, and a link to the full rule.
  • The applicability text: which models, which serial ranges.
  • Every part number the directive names, extracted from the text: 1,867 of the 3,115 directives name at least one, 6,256 part numbers in all. For each, the NSN cross-reference where we hold one (426 do), how many sellers list it here, and whether DLA has an open request for it.
  • The proposed rule that preceded it, the directive it supersedes, any directive that has since superseded it, and the manufacturer's other recent directives.

Start at /ad for the newest final rules and the manufacturers with the most directives in the last two years, or go straight to one: AD 2026-18-10. Directives named on a stock-number or part page now link here.

Watch a part number on its page and we email you when a new directive or a service difficulty report names it. That has been true since Tuesday; now the email has somewhere useful to point.
