What Are The Differences

between Service Bulletins

and Airworthiness

Directives?

An Airworthiness Directive (A.D.) is a directive issued when the FAA realizes that a perilous condition exists in a product (aircraft engine, airframe, appliance or propeller).  They notify aircraft operators and owners of potentially unsafe conditions that need special inspections, alterations, or repairs. A Service Bulletin (S.B.) is a notice to an aircraft operator from a manufacturer informing him/her of a product improvement. An alert service bulletin is issued when an unsafe condition shows up that the manufacturer believes to be a safety related as opposed to a mere improvement of a product. Service bulletins often result to issuance of Airworthiness Directives by FAA. An airworthiness directive references the alert service bulletin as a way of complying with the AD. Having realized that there were distinct levels of seriousness to a service bulletin, manufacturers started to categorize them as optional, recommended, alert, mandatory, informational, etc. It was left to the manufacturers to classify a service bulletin as they considered best for there was no standard for the terminology.  Differentiation between non-mandatory service bulletins is done and decided only by the FAA. Although a service bulletin may be categorized as mandatory by the manufacturer, it is crucial to know that compliance with service bulletins isn’t necessarily required under the FARs (Federal Aviation Regulations) unless the service bulletin includes or is accompanied by an airworthiness directive. As opposed to service bulletins, airworthiness directives affect the safety conditions of a flight. It’s for this reason compliance becomes mandatory. So, just because the FAR’s don’t necessarily demand an aircraft owner to comply with service bulletins, does this imply an aircraft owner or operator can ignore service bulletins? Not necessarily. The inaction may come back to haunt the aircraft owner at some time in the future. Therefore, it is always important to keep in mind that manufacturers issue service bulletins because they believe compliance will make their products safer. However, compliance with service bulletins basically translates into higher costs to the aircraft owner. Whether it requires performance of a more detailed and elaborate inspection or replacement of a component, service bulletin’s recommendation simply means that the aircraft owner will dig dipper into his/her pocket in paying for labor or parts. As a result, the majority of aircraft owners reject or defer compliance with service bulletins in order to save money. The bottom line? Compliance with an A.D. is exclusively mandatory; compliance with a S.B. is not mandatory unless the service bulletin includes or is accompanied by an airworthiness directive.
