(2) Refer to the Airplane Flight Manual, S ection 2, Limitations for a listing of other required placards. NOTE 3. Instructions for Continued Airworthiness and Se rvice Life Limits of components are contained in the OA7 Optica Maintenance Manual. Revisions to Airworthiness Limitations must be FAA approved. All manufacturer's service bulletins (and other manual material) which contain a statement that the document is approved by the exporting airworthiness authority (CAA) may be interpreted as FAA Approved. These approvals pertain to the type design only. All service bulletins classified as Mandatory by the UK Civil Aviation Authority are identified to that effect and are subject to an Airworthiness Directive issued by the FAA. Service documents required: 1. OA7 Optica Maintenance Manual 2. OA7 Optica Illustrated Parts Catalog 3. OA7 Optica Service Bulletins 4. Avco Lycoming Overhaul Manual for Direct Drive Engines 5.
