Owners are responsible for ensuring all applicable Airworthiness Directives are complied with for their aircraft. Do you know how? In this presentation I bring a Cessna 172 into my virtual hangar and I conduct AD research using the free FAA DRS website. I demonstrate many tips and techniques, and also show you how to create AD lists for tracking your ADs. This is the best Presentation available for researching Airworthiness Directives. Over 1000 people attended live at its first showing.
