(c) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR Sections 21.197 and 21.199 to ferry aircraft to a maintenance base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.

The manufacturer's specifications and procedures identified and described in this directive are incorporated herein and made a part hereof pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(1). All persons affected by this directive who have not already received these documents from the manufacturer may obtain copies upon request to McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company, Centinela Avenue and Teale Street, Culver City, California 90230.
