Hi Bob,
I got that, too - the US government didn't even mind paying for the letter
to be sent all the way to me here in Germany. And I don't own anything with
a Lycoming or Contintal (just a Rotax 912...).
No seriously, I might remember having signed up for that service a long time
ago and now they send those Emergency AD's, regardlesss of whether they
apply to me or not...

I received an AD in the mail last night for my IO-360 in my RV. This
is in spite of the fact that the aircraft registration states my
engine is unknown. How does the FAA know??!!
The AD requires me to inspect and or replace parts as needed on a
Bendix fuel servo. Since I have an Airflow Performance servo, I
figure this AD does not apply. But on the other hand, technically
there is no such thing as an IO-360 with an Airflow Performance
servo, that would be an uncertified engine and we all know that the
Lycoming IO-360 is a certified engine. The data plate on my engine
says it is a Lycoming IO-360, therefore I must comply with the AD
even though it is not possible.
Now maybe some A&P IA with a law degree can explain what type of
Logbook entry I should make. I would never want some A&P IA to ever
think I was unsafe just because I fly an experimental and cut corners
on an incorrect Logbook entry!
Of course all of these issues would go away if the FAA just made all
experimental aircraft meet all certified aircraft standards!
