FLIGHT OPERATION SAFETY BULLETIN

July 5, 2000

To All J41 crews:

The Safety and Regulatory Compliance computer trending program has indicated a significant increase in the number of rejected take-offs due to configuration warnings. Many of these are attributable to the condition levers slipping aft. The Safety and Regulatory Compliance Department is working very closely with the Maintenance Department and other J41 operators to try to mitigate the number of rejected take-offs due to this problem. In the mean time, I would like to ask that you confirm the condition levers to be in the full forward position and friction lock tightened before the beginning of the take-off roll. If you have any questions or concerns about this subject, please give us a call or stop by.
