"KC 225 AFCS INOPERATIVE"

An optional alternative to the deactivation of the AFCS with only Mods 1 and/or 2 installed is to either:

Return the AFCS to the Honeywell Service Center for modification to install Mod 1, 2 and 3 (or higher); or

Contact Honeywell Product Support for a warranty replacement KC 225 AFCS that contains Mod 1, 2 and 3 (or higher) levels.

Note 2: If either of the optional alternates is adopted, the AFCS must remain deactivated and placarded in accordance with Requirement 2 until an AFCS unit with at least Mods 1, 2 and 3 is installed.

3. If the Requirement 1 inspection determines that no Mods are installed or at least Mods 1, 2, and 3 are installed, ensure that the aircraft records identify AFCS Mod status in accordance with IB 472 Alert, Revision 1. This Directive requires no further action.

Note 3: FAA AD 2001-10-09 Amdt 39-12235 refers.
