Airworthiness Directives (AD) are issued when the FAA finds that a product (aircraft, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance) is in an unsafe condition and notifies aircraft owners and operators of potentially unsafe conditions and needs special inspections, repairs, or alterations. Service Bulletins (SB) are notices to aircraft operators from a manufacturer notifying them of a product improvement.
A supplemental type certificate (STC) is a design approval processed and issued by an FAA ACO or a Designated Alteration Station for a modification to an aircraft in service, or by an FAA ACO for replacement or modification parts for use on type-certified products.
Structural repairs are made to aircraft that have sustained damage to the structure (i.e., external skin, stringers, formers, bulkheads, etc.) There are several ways an aircraft structure can be damaged. It is usually caused by ground service equipment, maintenance stands, bird strikes, or lightning strikes.
