Service Bulletin     Date                  Model

CC7-24-002           29 September 1994     SA227-CC and SA227-DC

            Note: FAA AD 95-17-09R1 Amdt 39-9550 refers.

            Compliance: The compliance remains unchanged as 'Within 2,000 hours time in service after 9 November 1995'. This amendment is effective from 30 June 1996.

            Background: Action required by this Directive is designed to eliminate the possibility of a failure of the current limiter in combination with an engine failure causing loss of power to the essential bus.

            This amendment revises the serial number range for certain SA-227 aeroplanes and corrects the SA-227 model designation.

            The original issue of this Airworthiness Directive became effective on 9 November 1995.
