NOTE 20. This Type Certificate (TC) has been designated "ABANDONED". A “Notice of
Intent To Designate as Abandoned Certain Type Certificates Issued in the Restricted
Category,” was published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2003 (68 FR 47379). That Notice listed this TC. The FAA
received no comments on the published Notice. The FAA has been unable to contact this
TC holder. Hence, the FAA has determined that this TC holder is not complying with its
Continued Operational Safety (COS) responsibilities. Therefore, no additional aircraft
will be added to this TC and no additional original airworthiness certificates will be
issued based on this TC. The effectiveness of this TC is limited to those aircraft that
received original airworthiness certification prior to the incorporation of this note (Date
of Incorporation, January 24, 2005). Subsequently, if the TC holder is located and
assumes their COS responsibilities, the restriction(s) imposed by this note may be lifted.
