  (2) For NA-265-60, -70 and -80 model airplanes, within ten days after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished, install a placard:

"MAXIMUM TAKEOFF AND LANDING PRESSURE ALTITUDE - 8,000 FEET. GEAR WARNING HORN MAY NOT SOUND ABOVE 125 KIAS WITH FLAPS LESS THAN 80%."

  (3) For NA-265, NA-265-20, -30 and -40 model airplanes, within ten days after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished, install a placard:

"GEAR WARNING HORN MAY NOT SOUND ABOVE 125 KIAS WITH FLAPS LESS THAN 80%."

  (4) Within 9 months after the effective date of this AD, unless already accomplished, remove and replace the altitude and airspeed switch, in accordance with Rockwell International Sabreliner Service Bulletin 74-32, dated December 18, 1974, or later FAA-approved revisions.
