FAA AD Differences Note: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information as follows: (1) Since we never allowed incorporating Temporary Revision No. 9, dated January 30, 2009, into the POH, we are not requiring the removal of Temporary Revision No. 9, dated January 30, 2009, as the MCAI requires. (2) Current regulations (1 CFR 51.7) do not allow us to both incorporate by reference a service document and write the provisions of that document in the AD.

Other FAA AD Provisions (g) The following provisions also apply to this AD: (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager, Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
