accordance with the original issue of this Directive are considered in compliance with Requirement 1 or Requirement 2 of this Directive.

            Note: FAA AD 2004-03-01 refers.

 Compliance: 1. a. Repack within 2 months after 15 April 2004.

              b. Repack before installation.

              2. At the next required normal maintenance schedule of the slide/raft system, but no later than 18 months after 15 April 2004.

            This Amendment becomes effective on 15 April 2004.

            Background: The FAA received reports of separation of the lower aspirator during a number of deployments. Failure of the slide/raft to properly inflate could impede the emergency evacuation of passengers in the event of an aircraft emergency.

            Amendment 1 is issued in response to a new FAA AD, which was prompted by recent information from Air Cruisers Company that modifications have been made which have added new dash numbers to the slide/raft system basic part number. This has affected some of the serial numbers of slide/raft systems listed in previous FAA AD.
