       a. If not in accordance with the Aircraft Flight Manual as detailed in the Limitation Section for the aircraft's particular serial number:

         i. Remove the existing cargo door "Emergency Exit Operation" placard; and

         ii. Replace with the "Emergency Exit Operation" placard or "Rear Cargo Door Emergency Exit" placard as required by the Aircraft Flight Manual.

Compliance:    1. Unless already accomplished by a previous amendment of this Airworthiness Directive, after the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive, within 110 hours TIS or 12 months calendar time.

               2. After the effective date of this Airworthiness Directive, within 110 hours TIS or 12 months calendar time.

             This Amendment becomes effective on 5 August 2011.
Background:  This Directive was the result of a number of occurrences both in Australia and overseas where during an emergency there has been difficulty opening the cargo doors with the flaps down.  Amdt 1 provided for a yellow and black placard.

             As a result of requests from the Australian and United Kingdom authorities, Cessna has now issued a service kit to improve the cargo door mechanism.  Amdt 2 was raised to permit incorporation of this kit as an alternative.  Compliance with the Cessna Service Bulletin is preferred but not mandatory.

             This amendment has categorised the Airworthiness Directive to align with the different door mechanisms installed during production of the U206.  This requires different placard instructions depending
