AD2004-03-08 requires Lear Service Bulletin 31-51-2 / 3 to be complied with. The Lear facility informs me that this aircraft is of high enough serial number that the service bulletins are not applicable and therefore not a requirement. RVSM: The Lear facility has informed me that the aircraft has all of the required equipment for RVSM, and will only require "Skin Mapping" and several other minor tasks to certify the aircraft for RVSM. They should have a quote for this work by the end of the week. TAWS: The Lear facility informs me that the aircraft was manufactured with the equipment required for TAWS, and therefore will not require further work to meet the present FAA requirements. Best Regards, Bob Walling

Plaintiff will continue to provide periodic updates regarding the progress of the repair of

11 the aircraft as similar bulletins or reports are received. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 PAUL K. CHARLTON United States Attorney District of Arizona S/ Reid C. Pixler REID C. PIXLER Assistant U.S. Attorney Respectfully submitted this 13th day of October, 2005.
