In addition, the following Airworthiness Limitations have been established for this Rotorcraft.: Model S-64E 1. Service Bulletin 64B General-1 for component retirement times. FAA approved by the Rotorcraft Certification Office (RCO). Model S-64F 1. Service Bulletin 64F General-1 Time Limits-Retirement Schedule. FAA approved. 2. Service Bulletin 64F General-3 Mandatory Structural Inspections. FAA approved. H6EA 6 of 6 NOTE 5: NOTE 6: NOTE 7: NOTE 8: Prior to Airworthiness certification as a Model S-64F helicopter, either a military Model CH-54B helicopter must be inspected and modified according to Erickson Air-Crane Document No. 1097 "Master Conversion Drawing List, CH-54B to S-64F ", or conforms to Erickson Air-Crane General Arrangement Drawing 6401-10015, Rev. D, or later FAA approved revision level. Prior to Airworthiness certification as Model S-64E helicopter , military Model CH-54A helicopters must be inspected and modified according to Erickson Air-Crane Document No. 1077, "Modification of CH-54A to S-64E Helicopter", or conforms to Erickson Air-Crane General Arrangement Drawing 6401-10021, Rev. IR, or later FAA approved revision level. Revision No. 5 to this TCDS was not published by the FAA. Both S-64E and S-64F models are also known as "Industrial Flying Crane Helicopters." ------END------
