Compliance required as indicated.

To prevent operation in icing conditions with an unapproved oil cooler inlet scoop which may not provide adequate ice protection, prior to further flight after receipt of this message, accomplish the following:

a. Obscure from view the words "AND KNOWN ICING."

b. Install a permanent type placard in full view of the pilot as near as possible to the Approved Type of Operation placard, worded as follows: "FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS IS PROHIBITED." The owner or operator may make and use a placard containing the above words or contact Swearingen Aviation Corporation, P. O. Box 32486, San Antonio, Texas, 78284, to obtain a placard containing the appropriate wording. Letters must be at least one-eighth inch in height.

3. No action need be taken on aircraft not having the oil cooler assembly, P/N 27-63019-1.

4. On aircraft modified in accordance with Swearingen Aviation Corporation Service Kit No. 71K10-3036, the placard required by paragraph 2.b. above may be deleted and the words "AND KNOWN ICING" in paragraph 2.a. above may be uncovered.
