The FAA is no longer mailing paper copies of Airworthiness Directives.

As of March 2010, the FAA no longer mails paper copies of Airworthiness Directives (ADs) and Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (SAIBs) to aircraft owners and maintenance providers. Instead, the FAA is providing this information through a new e-mail service known as Gov-Delivery. While the FAA will continue to mail paper copies of Emergency ADs for the foreseeable future, aircraft owners and other interested persons will need to sign up to receive e-mail notifications for all other ADs through this free subscription service. You may register as many different makes and models of aircraft, engines and propellers as you like.

Remember this service is free of charge and relatively simple. Just follow the on-line instructions at http://rgl.faa.gov (note: there is no "www") Next, click on the link "subscribe for email delivery of Ads and SAIBs" then select your specific aircraft, engine and propeller make and model information.

If you still want paper copies, the FAA will continue to provide its AD Biweekly, which is a paid subscription of all ADs issued in the Federal Register over the previous 2-week period. The AD Biweekly is printed and mailed by the Government Printing Office (GPO) and does not include SAIBs. Contact the GPO directly at (202) 512-1806 for cost and addition information.
