The sufficient evidence it is the responsibility of the owner to furnish PAA can give no technical assistance on such matters since complete structural data for NI aircraft are not required by Part 9 and therefore are not available in the FAA. For certification for night flying the following must be accomplished: Replace the wing position lights with certificated units or satis- factorily modify the lights if pertinent. NOTE: Type A-9 wing position lights (AN-3033-5 thru -8) may be satisfactorily modified ry painting the inside of the frosted portion of the cover (AN-3033-1 thru -*) are satisfactory without modification. Replace the tail light with a certificated unit. If "Bright and Dim" conditions are provided for the position lights, either the resistors should be disconnected from the circuits and a single-pole-single-throw switch should be used to replace the two single-pole-double-throw switches presently installed for wing-tip ind tail lights, or the switches should be placarded to indicate that only the "bright condition should be used. In either case the tail light and wing-tip lights should operate on one switch. The list of mandatory changes required prior to original certification may be obtained from FAA, Washington, D.C. ``` ## ADs None name its models. ## STCs approved under this data sheet (4) - [STC SA04652CH](https://openairdocs.org/stc/SA04652CH): To allow use of 100R grade aviation fuel meeting Swift Fuel, LLC specification.
