Required Actions
Within 6 months after the effective date, perform a one-time general visual inspection of the RCCB in the main avionics compartment and center accessory compartment to determine its part number and serial number. If the RCCB has a part number listed in Table 2 of the Accomplishment Instructions of the service bulletin and the corresponding serial number is identified in that table, replace the RCCB with a RCCB having the same part number but a serial number that is NOT identified in Table 2, before further flight.
