seated flight attendant cannot reach oxygen masks located at the next rearward position, when automatically deployed in case of cabin decompression.
           Additionally, the portable oxygen dispensing unit and mask installed in the compartment on the external side of the lavatory rear wall, although located within easy reach of the flight attendant, is not immediately available to him (or her).

           The original issue of this Directive required revision of the AFM introducing maximum altitude operating limitations.

           Amendment 1 followed the issue of an Erratum to AD 2001-11-03 by DAC - Brazil. The Erratum revised the AFM Limitation by changing the seating arrangement for the flight attendant from the front RH outboard seat to the front RH aisle seat during operations above 25,000 ft.

           This Amendment introduces an optional installation of an oxygen bottle and mask under the flight attendant's seat together with an alternate operational limitation.

           The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 19 December 2001.

           Amendment 1 became effective on 22 January 2002.
