Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (2)

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

  • NM-09-33 Flight Control Primary Computer (FCPC)
  • NM-17-20 Equipment/Furnishings

Special Conditions + ELOS findings

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