INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of this Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin is to advise owners and operators of Extra Model airplanes of the need to review the service bulletins listed below.

BACKGROUND:

The Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Ce rtification Service, of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) conducted a review of speci fied Extra airplane service bulletins.

The options cons idered by the FAA included: mandated compliance by initiation of an FAA Airworthiness Directive (AD), various forms of notices, or no further action required.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

The service bulletins identified in this document we re not considered appropriate for AD action at this time, however, the FAA strongly suggests that all operators of the specified Extra Model airplanes review their compliance of the service bulletins listed below.
