Introduction

This special airworthiness information bulletin is issued to notify the field of the availability of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for AD 87-09-01.

Background

The current type-certificate holder has issued a change to the technical note specified in the AD.

Recommendations

Use of the changed technical note as an AMOC is recommended as the changed Technical Note 209- 1/87 Change 1 (October 21, 2008) supersedes the technical note identified in the AD. There are no technical ramifications; the actions of the AD remain the same. The attached FAA memorandum is the AMOC approval.
