Revision 0 2020-02-11
Revision 1 2020-10-08
Summary:
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to replace the yaw stop lever by a new yaw stop lever machined in
aluminum, thus improving the absorption of dispersions of the structure to prevent yaw authority limitation.
The purpose of revision 1 of this Service Bulletin is to add silicone oil to the consumables that must be ordered
separately to make the installation of the bolt easier. It also adds information on the sealing compound application
at the shouldered pin.

NOTE 1
Not applicable.
1.C. REASON
Revision 0:
As a result of the embodiment of modification 074602, which modified the primary stop screws and installed a
double locking, it was found that the adjustment range of the bolts was sometimes not sufficient.
Since the structure cannot be modified, it has been decided to improve the primary yaw stop lever to prevent
major structure dispersions resulting in yaw authority limitation by creating modification 074819.
Compliance with this Service Bulletin cancels the mandatory scheduled inspection introduced by
ALERT SERVICE BULLETIN No. 05.00.64.
