Required Actions

Revise the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to prohibit certain approaches with only one operational ILS receiver. Conduct repetitive inspections to detect faults in RIA-35B ILS receivers and replace discrepant units. Alternatively, revise the AFM, install a placard to prohibit certain operations, and forgo inspections by selecting optional terminating actions.
