Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (5)

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

  • CE-17-02 Cabin Altitude Encoder Alternative Method of Compliance (AMOC) to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-13-09; Terminating Action
  • CE-15-18 WING SPAR Main Spar Lower Cap Cracks
  • CE-09-13R1 POWERPLANT - ENGINE MOUNT Cracking at nose landing gear attachment and trunnion attachment
  • CE-03-53
  • ACE-99-03

Special Conditions + ELOS findings

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