Models covered (3)

Special Airworthiness Information Bulletins (3)

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

  • 2025-09 INSTRUMENT PANEL, Potential Installation of Lockwire on Switch Guards that May Restrict Access to Passenger Oxygen and Ram Air Turbine (RAT) Switches
  • NM-20-06 Electrical Power System: Lug Terminal Tracks
  • AIR-20-15 Navigation Localizer System

Special Conditions + ELOS findings

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