  (1) Install a placard on the fuel dump chute panel in the cockpit that reads, "Do not dump fuel with the speed brakes extended."

    (i) "Do not dump fuel with speed brakes extended."

    (ii) "NOTE: Do not use full and rapid aileron control while dumping fuel."

  (b) Equivalent wording, subject to prior approval by the Chief, Aircraft Engineering Division, FAA Western Region, may be used in lieu of that specified in this AD.
