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 Pratt & Whitney W-SC model are included. ## ADs that may apply (OpenAirDocs): 0 in force ### Matched by airframe (Stearman 4E) None in force. ### Matched by engine (Pratt & Whitney W-SC series) None in force. ## Information bulletins (advisory) None matched. ## NTSB investigations (2) From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. - [NTSB WPR21LA197](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR21LA197), May 17, 2021: Stearman 4E (N663K), Porterville, CA, substantial damage.
