Unsafe Condition
AHRS attitude and heading computations being contaminated, which can result in frozen attitude and heading displays on both instrument panels.
AI-generated summary from the source AD text. Verify against the official source before acting.
Required Actions
Install a placard adjacent to the first pilot's electronic attitude direction indicator (EADI) stating 'FLIGHT INTO KNOWN IMC PROHIBITED.' Modification of the Sperry EFIS Symbol Generator models to Mod Level S or subsequent, or installation of specific models with certain part numbers, terminates the placard requirement.
