            Background: This Directive requires the modification of the PES installed under STC ST01869AT- D, together with the revision of the AFM. This action is required to ensure that, when necessary, the flight crew is able to remove power from the PES and is advised of appropriate procedures to perform these actions. Inability to remove power from the PES during a non-normal or emergency situation could result in inability to control smoke or fumes in the aeroplane flight deck or cabin.
