Airworthiness Directives - Advanced Search
Fig 1 - The Advanced Search page allows the user to access AD lists using various methods
BUTTON OR DATA ELEMENT | DESCRIPTION |
SEARCH (RECENT) | Aircraft, engines, propellers AD docs from the past 7 days (flagged as New) or 30 days. Miscellaneous equipment docs from the past 1 month (flagged as New) or 6 months. See Fig 2&3 - recent ADs |
ALL AD (MISCELLANEOUS) | Provides a list of all Equipment AD’s (product_type_cd = 'Q' on C10 table) . There are over 800 of these at present. |
RECENT AD (MISCELLANEOUS) | Miscellaneous equipment issued within the past 1 month (flagged as New) or 6 months. |
REGISTRATION MARK | The official Canadian aircraft tail mark, “C” prefix is NOT included in the search value, or saved to the database. Canadian Tail marks begin with “F”,”G” or “I” (for ultralight - there are NO ADs issued against ultralights) |
REG MARK (ALL) | Show ALL AD’s against the Airframe, Engine and Propeller MFG/models for this aircraft |
REG MARK (RECENT) | Show only recent AD’s against the Airframe, Engine and Propeller MFG/models for this aircraft - issued within the last 30 days |
AD NUMBER | full or partial AD number lookup (over 19,000 in effect currently) |
SELECT MANUFACTURER | Will show ALL Manufacturers (y60 table) for which exists a model NOT having a TATC code that falls under the TC Exceptions (NOT, NOT CERTIFICATED, NOT IDENTIFIED) (TATC info ) . NO TATC is ignored from the TC exception list here and those manufacturers are included in the dropdown (example - ZIVKO) The concept here is, the users only want to see regulated TYPE-APPROVED manufacturers in these dropdowns, since these are the only models against which ADs are applied |
AIRCRAFT MODEL LIST | List of models which apply to the selected aircraft manufacturer. Pressing the CNTL key and selecting models will allow the user to select multiple models from the list |
AIRCRAFT (ALL) | Show ALL ADs against the selected aircraft models |
AIRCRAFT (RECENT) | Show ADs against the selected aircraft models issued within the last 30 days |
ENGINE MODEL LIST | engine models - functions same as aircraft |
ENGINE (ALL) | Show ALL ADs against the selected engine models |
ENGINE (RECENT) | Show ADs against the selected engine models issued within the last 30 days |
PROPELLER MODEL LIST | propeller models - functions same as aircraft |
PROPELLER (ALL) | Show ALL ADs against the selected propeller models |
PROPELLER (RECENT) | Show ADs against the selected propeller models issued within the last 30 days |
CLEAR | clear all selections from this page |
BACK | go back to main AD menu (quick search) |
Fig 2 - Aircraft, Engine, Propeller section Recent ADs
The only differences between a “recent” search and a standard lookup, is
1) the order in which the columns are presented, and
2) The inclusion of the “NEW” indicator stating “yes” for anything issued in the last 7 days for A/E/P products -or- 30 days for “Q” type
