NOTE: Cessna Aircraft Company provides instructions in Service Letter SE75-7 for revision of the pages of the owner's manuals affected by the reduced fuel system capacity. To avoid discrepancies between these manuals and the aircraft placards, the manuals should be revised in accordance with Cessna's instructions. B) On all models of aircraft manufactured in and prior to 1973 review the aircraft records to determine if new fuel bladder(s) have been installed since June 1, 1973, and if so, comply with Paragraph A of this AD unless it is established that the fuel cells installed were manufactured prior to June 1, 1973, and this fact is entered in the permanent aircraft records. NOTE: The owner may review the aircraft records and if he determines that new fuel bladder(s) have not been installed since June 1, 1973, may enter such information in the aircraft records. C) Alternate methods of compliance with this AD must be approved by the Chief, Engineering and Manufacturing Branch, FAA, Central Region. This amendment becomes effective July 30, 1975.
