Requirement:       1. Revise the Limitations and Normal Procedures section of the Aircraft Flight manual (AFM) to contain the following information:
                     "Before every flight, perform a visual check of the microphone jack assembly on the pilot's and co-pilot's control column to detect damage that may interfere with movement of the control column, including downward bending of the receptacle.  This check must be performed by the flight crew.  Any damage that may interfere with the movement of the control column must be repaired before further flight."
                   Revision of the AFM may be accomplished by inserting a copy of this Directive in the AFM.
                Note 1:  Bombardier Advisory Wire AW600-00-2247, Revision 2, dated March 24, 2005, provides additional information on damaged microphone jack assemblies and interference of damaged assemblies with movement of the control column.
                   2. Modify the microphone jack assembly and perform all related investigative actions and applicable corrective actions, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 23-3727, dated May 2005, except as provided by Requirement 3.  Once this modification is complete, the AFM revision required by Requirement 1 may be removed from the AFM.

                3. If any cracking is found during any inspection required by this Directive or if the distance between existing and new fastener holes is less than the limit specified in Raytheon Service Bulletin SB 23-3727, dated May 2005, repair the cracking or carry out any other applicable corrective action.
             Note 2:  Contact Raytheon Aircraft Company Arkansas Technical Support in accordance with SB 23-3727 for advice regarding repair or corrective action.
