9 years ago, no later than 10 years since the equipment date of manufacture.
             This Airworthiness Directive becomes effective on 24 October 2008.
Background:  The emergency floatation gear container assemblies listed in the Applicability section of this Directive have an operating time limit of 10 years from the date of manufacture.  From June 2006 this limit was no longer recorded in the Maintenance Program (PRE), and therefore post June 2006, container assemblies that have exceeded the 10-year limit may not have been replaced.
