FAA AD Tracker

FAA ADs publish in the Federal Register and live in the Dynamic Regulatory System (DRS); emergency ADs can take effect on receipt, and compliance is mandatory under 39.7 for all US-registered aircraft wherever they fly. For tracking purposes the implication is the layering: US registration carries FAA ADs worldwide — an N-registered aircraft based in Europe answers to both FAA ADs and local requirements. Your reconciled list must reflect every applicable layer, which is why this board's reference field is free-form — FAA-style numbers, FAA references and adopted-directive citations all coexist on one list.

The owner/operator — mechanics and inspectors verify and certify compliance at inspections, but the continuous obligation between inspections sits with whoever operates the aircraft. That's the gap this board covers: repetitive directives whose intervals land between annuals are the owner's watch, and 'my mechanic tracks that' is exactly the assumption that produces overdue findings.

By design: operational records are sensitive, and the simplest privacy guarantee is never transmitting them. Local-only storage means zero servers, zero breach surface and zero subscription. If you work from several devices, keep one as the master record and move snapshots with the CSV export.

Use the Export CSV button below the table: it downloads your full directive compliance list as a spreadsheet-ready file. From there you can print a clean copy, archive it with your records folder, or import it into any other system. Exporting monthly is a good habit since the working data lives only in your browser.
