## The airworthiness directive

Compliance: Required within the next 1,500 hours' time in service after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished.

Viscount Modification Bulletin No. D.3219 Issue 1, dated September 9, 1968, or later ARB-approved issue or an FAA-approved equivalent. The aluminum cable lug connections to engine starter selector relays are located in the main landing gear wheel bay at Nose Rib Station 131, LH and RH wings.

This amendment becomes effective September 20, 1969.
