Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (9)
Advisory bulletins on these airframes. Not mandatory like ADs — but operators tracking AD compliance often miss the SAIB on the same component.
Special Conditions + ELOS findings
Certification-time deviations: SCs add requirements where the design is novel; ELOS allows alternative compliance. Most modern types have both.
