The models as the FAA's AD index lists them. The serial ranges, installed parts and exceptions are in the AD itself: read it at the FAA.
This amendment adopts a new airworthiness directive (AD) that is applicable to certain transport category airplanes equipped with Honeywell Standard Windshear Detection and Recovery Guidance System (WSS). This action requires a revision to the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to alert the flight crew of the potential for significant delays in the WSS detecting windshear when the flaps of the airplane are in transition. This amendment is prompted by a report of an accident during which an airplane encountered severe windshear during a missed approached. The actions specified in this AD are intended to ensure that the flight crew is aware that there may be significant delays in the WSS detecting windshear when the flaps of the airplane are in transition.
The aircraft, engines and makers this AD names, by the model designations in its text. A model listed here may still be outside the AD's serial ranges.
