             Later revisions of the above SB(s), approved by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an Alternate Method of Compliance (AMOC) to FAA AD 2008-23-15, are considered acceptable for compliance with the equivalent Requirements of this Directive.
             Note:  FAA AD 2008-23-15 Amdt 39-15736 refers.
Compliance:  For Requirements 1.a., 2.a. and 3.a. - Within 60 months after the effective date of this Directive.
             For Requirements 1.b., 2.b. and 3.b. - Before further flight after accomplishing Requirements 1.a., 2.a. and 3.a.
             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 15 January 2009.
Background:  This Directive results from an in-flight entertainment (IFE) systems review conducted by the FAA.  The Directive is issued to ensure that the flightcrew is able to turn off electrical power to IFE systems and other non-essential electrical systems through a switch in the flight compartment.  The flightcrew's inability to turn off power to IFE systems and other non-essential electrical systems during a non- normal or emergency situation could result in the inability to control smoke or fumes in the aeroplane flight deck or cabin.
