Historical Aircraft Small Airplane Rev 13 12/17/2002 drs.faa.gov ↗

Models covered (2)

Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (1)

Advisory bulletins on these airframes. Not mandatory like ADs — but operators tracking AD compliance often miss the SAIB on the same component.

  • CE-17-14 Main Landing Gear: Lower Leg Internal Corrosion

Special Conditions + ELOS findings

Certification-time deviations: SCs add requirements where the design is novel; ELOS allows alternative compliance. Most modern types have both.

Certification basis — 14 CFR
