time two Recently some extensive changes have made handbook procedures involved program have neither space nor inclination detail changes column However several points should noted since may result others desiring qualify models should also noted actual process modeler applying has changed 1 The wing-loading requirement has increased 48 ounces 60 ounces per square foot change may result models able qualify 2 The number flights required presence inspector has changed Originally document stated 12 flights required honesty seems unlikely models previously qualified ever met criteria Now

after becoming tired interim plans really stopgaps Still subject radios another reminder end 1994 manufacturers radio equipment Academy will drop transmitter sticker program As March 1992 new transmitters required narrow band one-year period granted FCC clear out sales pipeline after March year narrow-band transmitters can sold manufacturers dealers course academic since new transmitters

others desiring qualify models should also noted actual process modeler applying has changed 1 The wing-loading requirement has increased 48 ounces 60 ounces per square foot change may result models
