Compliance required as indicated, unless previously accomplished. To prevent the inflight loss of the wing-to-fuselage fairing, accomplish the following: A. Conduct a daily visual inspection of wing-to-fuselage fairing, both right and left, for cracks or looseness around screws and grommets. If cracks or looseness is found, before further flight install washer P/N AN970-3, and use washer head screw P/N AN525-10R9 in place of P/N AN509-10R9.

C. Alternate means of compliance or adjustment of compliance time, which provide an acceptable level of safety, may be used when approved by the Manager, New York Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, New England Region. D. Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate airplanes to a base in order to comply with the requirements of this AD.
