NOTE 5. For certification at 18,500 lbs. take off weight (or landing weight as cargo carrier) Model 18 airplanes of Serial Nos.
2001 to 2024, inclusive, must be modified structurally to conform with drawing changes and new drawings listed on
Lockheed Service Project Drawing No. 1037. Airplanes of Serial Nos. 2025 and up have had the structural revisions

for Military use by removal of seats and the installati on of troop benches or cargo provisions. Also, the military
models differed from the Model 18 for certain powerplant in stallation details, minor structural differences and were
equipped with a 12-volt electrical system. Prior to cer tification as a civil aircraft, the following must be
accomplished in addition to compliance with Lockh eed Service Technical Report No. 1 and applicable
AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES:
(a) Each airplane must satisfactorily pass an insp ection for conformity, possible hidden damage, and for
workmanship and materials used in making any repairs and/or alternations. Particular attention should be paid

structure. Such brackets and supporting structure as w ill not interfere with the safe operation of the aircraft
may, at the operator's discretion, be left in the airc raft as long as the equipment has been rendered inoperative.
Operators may retain the oil dilution system and hopper type oil tank upon compliance with paragraph 1 of
Airworthiness Directive 46-13-3. Otherwise the inst allation of a conventional oil tank and rework of the
