| SFAR 88 - BBJ AMOC Revision Newsletter |
|
Dear PATS Customers, PATS is pleased to announce that the FAA has revised the Global AMOC letter for the BBJ aircraft. This revision now clearly shows that both PATS STC's ST00936NY and ST00936NY-D are affected by AD2008-22-01. The AMOC letter has also been revised to clearly show the STC configurations that are impacted by this AD. A copy of the revised Global AMOC Approval letter is attached to this Newsletter and these changes are summarized below: Global AMOC for Boeing 737-700 (IGW) Aircraft installed with STC ST00936NY-D or ST00936NY The FAA concurs that the use of PATS Aircraft LLC Service Bulletin ST00936NY-D-28-SB-001, Revision IR, dated September 03, 2004 through Revision K, dated August 25, 2008 and ST00936NY-D-SB-021 Revision IR, dated January 31, 2007 through Revision K, dated January 8, 2009 are an acceptable AMOC for Boeing Model 737-700 (IGW) with installed STC ST00936NY-D or ST00936NY configuration 2, 3 and 4 is and subsequent for the requirements of paragraph (c) of this AD.

Before using this Global AMOC, Operators should notify their appropriate principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards Office (FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO. Per our earlier Newsletters, in order to support the installation of as many SFAR 88 Service Bulletin Kits as possible by PATS trained and experienced personnel before the December 2009 AD deadline, PATS is taking the following actions:
PATS has recently expanded its ability to support the BBJ fleet by allocating additional modification slots at our Georgetown, Delaware hangars to support BBJ aircraft maintenance. PATS now has maintenance slots available in 2009 to accommodate Customer's maintenance needs and/or their SFAR 88 SB Kit installation requirements. Several maintenance slots will be available as early as June. Please contact our Sales Director, Brian Neal, if you are interested in scheduling one of these maintenance slots.
PATS “Tiger Team” can presently support two SFAR 88 SB Kit installations per month. Additional PATS tank and maintenance personnel are being dedicated to the SFAR 88 modification program so as to allow the creation of a second PATS “Tiger Team” by June 1st. These two teams will be capable of supporting up to four SFAR 88 SB Kit installations per month at facilities of the Customers choosing. Please contact PATS Sales or Customer Service for information on the availability of these “Tiger Teams”. The following pages contain a copy of the revised FAA's Global AMOC approval letter and a listing of PATS Customer Service, Sales and SFAR 88 contacts who can aid you in the procurement and installation of these Service Bulletin Kits. While we realize this letter may not address all of your concerns, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have. Best regards, |
