From the FAA registry file of October 21, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Lycoming 0-235 model are included.
