              Compliance: 1. For actuator cylinder heads that have been in service for more than 7 years or that have 4,001 or more total landings as at 15 May 2003, perform the eddy current inspection within 6 Months or 10 landings after 15 May 2003, whichever occurs first, unless already accomplished.

           Amendment 2 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which expands and clarifies applicability, and additionally, clarifies inspection compliance time.
