1-2.4. Publication Changes
The instructions in this manual represent the best and most complete information
available at the time of publication. Product or process improvements may trigger
changes to existing product design specifications or procedures contained in publications.
As new technical information becomes available, TCM will deliver the updated
information to the customer in the most expedient manner.
WARNING
New information may be contained in Teledyne Continental
Motors service documents. Service documents applicable to
engines and accessories within the scope of this manual must
be complied with as defined in these documents. This manual,
together with TCM’s Installation and Operation Manual (OI-
22), Service Documents, and other related publications noted
constitute the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICAs)
prepared by Teledyne Continental Motors and approved by
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Teledyne Continental Motors releases publication changes in the form of either change
pages or complete publication revisions, depending upon the extent of change. Service
Documents may supplement or replace technical information contained in one
publication or an entire series of publications. Such Service Documents represent a
change to the published ICA until the individual publications incorporate the latest
technical information.
1-2.4.1. Update/Change Distribution
Updates are available via TCMLINK upon notification of FAA document approval. TCM
notifies engine owners of technical publication changes free of charge. TCM notifies
current TCMLINK service subscribers by mail as publications are updated. Current
subscribers receive a complete publication library on CD delivered quarterly. Printed
publication subscribers receive printed changes and revisions as they are released.
