                Note 1:  For the purposes of this Directive, a general visual inspection is defined as "A visual examination of an interior or exterior area, installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or irregularity.  This level of inspection is made from within touching distance unless otherwise specified.  A mirror may be necessary to ensure visual access to all surfaces in the inspection area.  This level of inspection is made under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight, hangar lighting, flashlight or droplight and may require removal or opening of access panels or doors.  Stands, ladders or platforms may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked."
                   2. Correct improper clearances detected during the Requirement 1 inspection in accordance with the applicable ASB.
                   3. For aeroplanes with serial numbers identified below, replace the fuses for the hydraulic shutoff valves with fuses having higher amperage in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of the following applicable Bombardier Service Bulletin (SB):
