This instrument lets the registered operator of aircraft with Continental Motors engines and specified Superior Air Parts cast cylinders comply with paragraph (i)(2) of FAA AD 2014-05-29 by following SAP Service Bulletin B14-01 Revision E (instead of the AD’s default) when a cylinder has reached the calendar-time—but not the hourly-time—threshold in CMI SIL98-9 Revision C. The operator is responsible for arranging and paying the work; the approval is narrow, time‑limited, and does not change any other AD requirements.
