On July 10, the FAA approved an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) for all Active Winglet equipped Citation jets, which returned CJ1, CJ2, CJ3 and M2 aircraft to flying status. EASA regulators also recently resolved flight restriction issues in Europe created around the recent Emergency Airworthiness Directive (EAD) against Tamarack active winglet installations awaiting a final resolution to the EAD. The AMOC requires aircraft operators to comply with Service Bulletin 1480 prior to flight that calls for replacing or upgrading a small actuator on the trailing edge of the camber surface. Tamarack is providing the product improvements from SB 1480 free of charge to all customers.
