METHOD 2
Beginning with Update Disc 2007-04B, you now have the option of
using the New ADs Tool to add new ADs to your existing reports.
The first step is to launch the New ADs Tool which can be found on
the Airworthiness Directives & TCD Sheets Directory.
Once the Interactive Tool launches, follow steps 1, 2 and 5: Save a
Copy of the File, Open the File and Continue to the Selection
Checklist.
The Interactive New ADs Tool follows the same format as the
Interactive Appliance AD Tool. Here, you have the option of sorting
the ADs by Update Disc or by Manufacturer.
From the Selection Checklist mode, seen to the right, click once in
the white box next to the specific AD to prompt a drop down menu to
appear. From the menu, select “Yes” if you’d like to add the AD to
an existing report. If you change your mind and would not like to
include the AD, select the “white space” below the Yes in the drop
down menu.
Once you’ve finished marking the ADs to include, click the “Only
Yes” button in the upper left hand corner of your screen. The
Selection Checklist view will now only display those ADs you
marked “Yes” as indicated in the image to the right. If you’d like to
add or remove ADs from your selection, click the “Show All” button
and repeat the previous steps.

How do I add a new AD (airworthiness directive) to an existing compliance report I've created?
There are 2 ways to add a new AD to an existing report:
(1) Manually using the "Green New Button" in the IADCRT or
(2) Import chosen new ADs using the Interactive New ADs Tool

-In Summary View, click the Green New button (on the far right hand side of the screen) to add a new AD line
-This will create a Blank Record Row where you can manually type in the AD#, Subject, Amend #, Effective Date and whether or not it
is Recurring.
