Description of the Type Design Change: Installation of a Supplemental Lighting System; manufactured and installed in accordance with Master Drawing List MDL-120004-3, Rev. C, dated January 23, 2009, and maintained in accordance with Instructions for Continued Airworthiness ICA-120004-4, Rev. A, dated January 8, 2009, or later FAA-approved revisions.
Limitations and Conditions: This STC applies to the models listed above and only to the specific serial numbers listed on the ASU Master Drawing List MDL-120004-3, approved March 12, 2009, or later FAA-approved revisions. This rotorcraft employs Night Vision Imaging System lighting, commonly named NVIS, which has been certified to ensure the aircraft is compatible with Night Vision Goggles (NVG). For this reason, interior and exterior modifications that add or change systems that emit or reflect light have the potential to alter or change the NVIS lighting vs. NVG compatibility. Compatibility of this design with subsequent modifications must be determined by the installer. The determination of compatibility with modifications that emit or reflect light must include an engineering compatibility evaluation approved by an aircraft certification authority. A copy of this certificate and the Rotorcraft Flight Manuel Supplement FMS-120004-6, Revision A, approved March 11, 2009, or later FAA-approved revision, must be maintained as part of the permanent records for the modified rotorcraft.
If the holder agrees to permit another person to use this certificate to alter the product, the holder shall give the other person written evidence of that permission.
