(c) Aircraft may be flown in accordance with FAR 21.197 and FAR 21.199 to a location where this replacement can be accomplished.

(d) For the purpose of this AD, an FAA-approved equivalent may be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing District Office, FAA, Pacific-Asia Region, Honolulu, Hawaii.
