Default Does a Cessna 152 have an afterburner?

You can save a lot of time if every part replaced or
installed is listed by make, part number and serial number.
As the FAA gets everything on-line AD searches will become a
matter of automated database searches. But if you don't
keep good records you'll still need to open the hatches and
look at each part.

When buying a plane, open the hatches, the records may say
the AD was complied with, but an inspection often finds it
hasn't.
