TCDS A60EU

EADS SOCATA

Historical Aircraft Small Airplane Rev 13 12/20/2007 drs.faa.gov ↗

Models covered (1)

Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (12)

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.

  • ELOS ACE-14-01 Cockpit Controls Location and 14 CFR 23.781(b), Shape Single Power Lever
