B) If the serial number on the turbocharger nameplate is not one of those specified in Paragraph A), make an entry in the aircraft maintenance records indicating compliance with this AD and no further action is required. C) If the serial number on the turbocharger nameplate is one of those specified in Paragraph A), replace the turbocharger or replace the turbocharger center housing in accordance with applicable Cessna or AiResearch service instructions. D) Airplanes may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 to a location where replacement required by Paragraph C) may be accomplished. E) Any equivalent method of compliance with this AD must be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Central Region.
