### Teri Short, Air Methods Corporation What change to the AD action is requested? 

### In clude the original ASB (Rev. 0) in the final AD as previous compliance along with the Revision 1 release of the ASB. Why is the change requested or how is it justified? 

### Air Methods has complied with ASB EC135 - 22A - 015 Rev. 0 dated May 3, 2008 and MBB BK117 C - 2 - 22A - 009 Rev. 0 dated May 3, 2008 and would like to have that compliance applied to the AD. Do we agree? Partially Agree If **YES,** we agree because Make the following changes to the AD: If **PARTIALLY AGREE** , we agree with

A review of the ASB changes involved between Revision 0 and Revision 1 show that none of the accomplishment actions were changed - only the components affected were changed. Therefore, compliance with Revision 0 of the ASB is acceptable for showing compliance with Revision 1 of the ASB, and would apply to the NPRM as well. We disagree with
