NOTE 1: Figure 1 of Puritan Bennett Aero Systems SB No. 119003-35-1, dated February 15, 1993, illustrates the location of this yellow label.

NOTE 2: PBE units not having a yellow tag may be shipped to the manufacturer at the address specified in paragraph (d) of this AD. The unit will then be modified and shipped back with a yellow tag attached to the red rip tag.

(b) Special flight permits may be issued in accordance with FAR 21.197 and 21.199 to operate the airplane to a location where the requirements of this AD can be accomplished.

(c) An alternative method of compliance or adjustment of the compliance time that provides an equivalent level of safety may be approved by the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office, FAA, 1801 Airport Road, Room 100, Wichita, Kansas 67209. The request shall be forwarded through an appropriate FAA Maintenance Inspector, who may add comments and send it to the Manager, Wichita Aircraft Certification Office.

NOTE 3: Information concerning the existence of approved alternative methods of compliance with this AD, if any, may be obtained from the Wichita Aircraft Certification Office.

(d) All persons affected by this directive may obtain copies of the document referred to herein upon request to Puritan Bennett Aero Systems Company, Attention: Customer Service Department, 10800 Pflumm Road, Lenexa, Kansas 66215; or may examine this document at the FAA, Central Region, Office of the Assistant Chief Counsel, Room 1558, 601 E. 12th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64106.
