AD/GENERAL/50 Whelen Strobe Light - Modification 4/75

Applicability: All aircraft equipped with Whelen A427 strobe light flash tubes manufactured before 1 November 1974.

Requirement: Install on the base of Whelen Engineering Company Incorporated A427 strobe light flash tubes a pressure sensitive-vinyl label conforming to Whelen Engineering Company Incorporated Drawing A-300052, Revision 1, dated October 15, 1974, or a strip of Scotch Brand Type 33 vinyl plastic electrical tape can be used in lieu of the vinyl label.

If the flash tube incorporates a label, the new label or tape may be installed directly over the old label.
