FAA approved airplane flight manual supplement, “Installation of the Northrop Grumman Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) System, AN/AAQ-24(v) Missile Defense System,” dated June 12, 2020, or later approved FAA (ODA) revision, is required. Instructions for continued airworthiness, “Installation of the Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasure (LAIRCM) System, AN/AAQ-24(V),” M09640, dated March 20, 2020, or later accepted FAA (AEG) revision, is a required part of this modification.
