later.

                3. The aircraft may be operated up to 10 hours time in service provided the flight(s) occur(s) no later than 30 days after 10 June 2005.  This is a one-time provision.

             The compliance times remain unchanged by this issue.
             This Amendment becomes effective on 17 June 2005.
Background:  The FAA received a report of a Model SNJ-6 (AT-6F) aircraft crash that occurred on 9 May 2005, resulting in two fatalities.  The ensuing investigation revealed a large fatigue crack in the failed lower inboard wing attach angle.  The aircraft was used for hire in aerobatic training.  Fatigue cracking may occur in the upper and/or lower attach angles that join the centre and outer wings, and, if allowed to progress, could result in wing failure and consequent loss of control of the aircraft.

             Amendment 1 is issued to clarify the requirement for the issue of a special flight permit.
