Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. For guidance on export control requirements, contact the Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration at http://www.bis.doc.gov. Beechcraft Corporation (BC) issues Service Information for the benefit of owners and fixed base operators in the form of two classes of Service Bulletins. The first class, Mandatory Service Bulletins (red border) includes changes, inspection and modifications that could affect safety or crashworthiness. BC also issues Service Bulletins with no red border which are designated as either recommended or optional in the compliance section within the bulletin. In the case of recommended Service Bulletins, BC feels the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections will benefit the owner/operator and although highly recommended, Recommended Service Bulletins are not considered mandatory at the time of issuance. In the case of Optional Service Bulletins, compliance with the changes, modifications, improvements or inspections is at the owner/operator's discretion. Both classes are available on the web at http://pubs.beechcraft.com and mailed to: (a) Owners of record on the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch List and the BC Safety of Flight Information (SOFI) List. (b) Those having a publications subscription. Information on Safety of Flight Information (SOFI) or subscription can be obtained through the Beechcraft Corporation Technical Manual Distribution Center (TMDC).
