            through 525-0359 inclusive.

 AD/CESSNA 525/4 (continued)

            Background: This Directive complements AD/CESSNA 525/3 Amdt 1, which required inhibition of the autopilot operation but allowed the installation of a trim PCB assembly P/N 6518351-8 as a temporary optional terminating action. This Directive requires the trim PCB assembly to be replaced providing a final terminating action for the autopilot inhibition.
