Service Letters |
 Service Letters and Service Bulletins were produced by Aircraft Manufacturers to inform all concerned of new maintenance information, modifications, improvments and policies pertaining to the operation and support of their aircraft.
Service Letters
Service Letters were issued to explain service policies and describe modifications, processes, new products and other information pertinent to the operation, maintenance and repair of our aircraft. Service Letters can be identified by the word LETTER printed (orignially in Blue) on the right margin.
Service Bulletins
Service Bulletins describe mandatory procedures that must be observed for safety reasons. Service Bulletins are identified by the word BULLETIN printed (originally in Red) on the right margin. For details of Service Bulletins go to the Service Bulletin Page.
Service Letters and Service Bulletins were supplied by Fletchair and have been provided here by the AYA as a service to its members, and the quality of the documents varies due to the quality of the original material provided.
List of Service Letters
Applicability refers only to the Aircraft Type – Readers should check the service letter to see if the letter is applicable to their specific aircraft serial number.
