In order to support the installation of as many SFAR 88 Service Bulletin Kits as possible by PATS trained and experienced personnel before the December 2009 AD deadline, PATS is taking the following actions:
PATS has recently expanded its ability to support the BBJ fleet by allocating additional modification slots at our Georgetown, Delaware hangars to support BBJ aircraft maintenance. PATS now has maintenance slots available in 2009 to accommodate Customer's maintenance needs and/or their SFAR 88 SB Kit installation requirements. Several maintenance slots will be available as early as June. Please contact our Sales Director, Brian Neal, if you are interested in scheduling one of these maintenance slots.
PATS “Tiger Team” can presently support two SFAR 88 SB Kit installations per month. Additional PATS tank and maintenance personnel are being dedicated to the SFAR 88 modification program so as to allow the creation of a second PATS “Tiger Team” by June 1 st . These two teams will be capable of supporting up to four SFAR 88 SB Kit installations per month at facilities of the Customers choosing. Please contact PATS Sales or Customer Service for information on the availability of these “Tiger Teams”. The following pages contain copies of the FAA's Global AMOC approval letters and a listing of PATS Customer Service, Sales and SFAR 88 contacts who can aid you in the procurement and installation of these Service Bulletin Kits. We realize this letter may not address all of your concerns, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have. Best regards, Duncan Clark
