  Applicability: Models 35, A35, B35, and 35R aircraft, all serial numbers.

               Requirement: 1. Fabricate a placard that restricts the never exceed speed (Vne) to no more than 144 miles per hour (MPH) or 125 knots (KTS) indicated airspeed (IAS), and install this placard on the instrument panel within the pilot's clear view. The placard should utilise letters at least 2.54mm (0.10-inch) in height and contain the following words:

                      "Never exceed speed, Vne, 144 MPH (125 KTS) IAS"

               2.        Mark a red line on the airspeed indicator glass at 144 MPH (125 kts) and mark a white slippage mark on the outside surface of the airspeed indicator between the glass and the case.

               3.        Insert a copy of this Directive into the Limitations Section of the aircraft flight manual.
