Narrative:
Performing B737 elevator inspection signoff paper work has no sign off spot for airworthiness directive number 2002-01-01. Inspector may have not done this on other aircraft since the J/P book update on apr/01/02. J/P book was updated to include an inspector per airworthiness directive, but control record has no directive to accomplish that work there for I believe it may have been missed on other elevators.
