(b) Refer to Table 1 Option B for subsequent inspection requirements.

OR

(2)

(a) Replace sidewall with post Mod HCM01672D (Part Number HC537L0002-006).

(b) Refer to Table 1 Option F for subsequent inspection requirements.

(3)

(a) Repair per RIL HC537H9410 Repair no. 3.

(b) Refer to Table 1 Option C for subsequent inspection requirements.

NOTE: Installation of post mod HCM01672D sidewall panel will also enable operators to claim the terminating action for SB. 53-229. Embodiment or RIL HC537H9410 Repair No's 1, 2, 3 or 4 does not remove the requirement to perform stiffener inspections, hence there is a continuing risk of stiffener damage and possible sidewall replacement at a future date.
