DESCRIPTION

SEARCH (RECENT)

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

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
