(d) SUBJECT
Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC)/Air Transport Association (ATA)
of America Code 3410, FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT DATA; 3420, ATTITUDE AND
DIRECTION DATA SYSTEM.
(e) UNSAFE CONDITION
This AD was prompted by an automatic reset occurring when the display
internal monitor detects a potential fault causing intermittent loss
of airspeed, attitude, and altitude information during flight. The FAA
is issuing this AD to address the software interacting with a graphics
processing chip defect. The unsafe condition, if not addressed, could
result in intermittent loss of airspeed, attitude, and altitude
information during flight with consequent loss of airplane control.
(f) COMPLIANCE
Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified, unless al-
ready done.
(g) REQUIRED ACTIONS
(1) Before further flight, revise the limitations section of the airplane
flight manual (AFM) for your airplane by inserting a copy of this AD
or by making a pen and ink change to add: "Operation under Instrument
Flight Rules (IFR) or night Visual Flight Rules (VFR) is prohibited."
(2) The action required by paragraph (g)(1) of this AD may be performed by
the owner/operator (pilot) holding at least a private pilot
certificate and must be entered into the aircraft records showing
compliance with this AD in accordance with 14 CFR 43.9(a)(1) through
(4) and 14 CFR 91.417(a)(2)(v). The record must be maintained as
required by 14 CFR 91.417. This authority is not applicable to
aircraft being operated under 14 CFR part 119.
(h) SPECIAL FLIGHT PERMIT
Special flight permits are prohibited.
(i) ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF COMPLIANCE (AMOCS)
(1) The Manager, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority to approve
AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR
39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request to your
principal inspector or local Flight Standards District Office, as
appropriate. If sending information directly to the manager of the
certification office, send it to the attention of the person
identified in paragraph (j).
(2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate principal in-
spector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager of the local
flight standards district office/certificate holding district office.
