failure of the battery line, of the battery relay or of the battery the engine may fail.  It was established that the reason for this failure was an electrical malfunction of the alternator.
             The actions specified in the original issue of this Directive were intended to prevent an in-flight engine failure in case of a failure of the electrical aircraft power supply, which could result in an emergency landing or loss of power of the aircraft.
             Amendment 1, whilst reflecting the requirements of the original issue, extended the compliance time and introduced a repetitive battery capacity check until modifications were accomplished.  The amendment also introduced minor formatting changes.
             This Amendment introduces a revised P/N for replacement alternator sets in existing installations (except for Diamond aircraft) and added requirements for new installations.
             The original issue of this Directive became effective on 23 December 2004.
             Amendment 1 became effective on 19 January 2005.
