Requires operators to mark the BAGGAGE COMPRT HEAT switch ‘INOP’ (and tag related circuit breakers) before the next flight, pending corrective action. It applies to aircraft with cargo-compartment heating blankets that have overheated; the amendment narrows the set of affected aircraft and allows fitting improved blankets per an Astra Service Bulletin as an alternative, after which the placard and tags must be removed.
