of that ATSO.
Note 1: The first version of a TSO may have been issued with or without the notation "(0)" at the end (for example, citations of TSO-C129 and TSO-C129(0) would refer to the same document). Thus, for first version TSOs, either form is an acceptable citation for the other.
Note 2: Later versions of a TSO are identified by an alphabetical letter (for example, a later version of TSO-C129 or TSO-C129(0) is TSO-C129a). Unless the contrary intention appears in a provision, a reference in this instrument to TSO-C129 or TSO-C129(0) means that version or a later version (in this case, TSO-C129a), but not the earlier version.
