Compatibility of this design with subsequent modifications must be determined by the installer. The determination of compatibility with modifications that emit or reflect light may require a re-evaluation by an FAA aircraft certification office.
A copy of this certificate and the FAA-approved Rotorcraft Flight Manual Supplement (RFMS) FMS-22004-6 Revision E, approved May 04, 2010, or later FAA-approved revisions, must be maintained as part of the permanent records for the modified rotorcraft.
