Hi Reece;

I don't know of any web site where this information is readily available for a specific airplane model and year. All ADs are available from the FAA web site, but you have to compile the list yourself. Airframe, engine, and accessory ADs are under the manufacturer's name, so you have to know what you have in your airplane and who made it (Cessna, Teledyne Continental, Bendix, etc.) and the part/model numbers. The original equipment list plus the logbooks should give you that information. That is how I compiled the AD list for my C-172. There should also be a history of AD compliance recorded in your log books. You can also purchase this list, along with all the service bulletins, from Cessna.

As far as I can tell the service bulletins are not available on the FAA web site. If you have seen some of my other posts, you can see they often contain important service information. Once you are the registered owner, Cessna will send you any new AD notices or service bulletins, but you have to purchase any preceding notices. Hope this helps.

AD research is provided to current COO members at no charge by our technical support staff. Jon is correct in that it is a time consuming process that involves separate searches for airframe, engine, prop and accessory AD's.

Our office maintains an extensive Service Bulletin library as well, but we are prohibited from simply making this information available on-line by Cessna's strict copyright interpretation. The only exceptions to this are AD-related SB's. If you require a copy of a specific SB or Service Letter, contact our office, and we'll can track it down for you at no charge (members only, of course). If by chance we do not have a particular bulletin on hand, we can obtain it from Wichita in a day or so.
