This includes Time Compliance Technical Orders (TCTO’s), all military messages (ASAM’s, AMAM’s, SOF’s, etc.).

Additionally, any message, bulletin etc., released by the military shall have the requirements accomplished after the original FAA type certification of former military aircraft. This includes any directives, which refer to later model derivatives which were issued after the earlier models left the military inventory.

If the directive is issued for the make model, series or later derivative as an offered aircraft then the directive applies, and the requirements of the directive shall be complied with. This can be in the form of an OEM, TC holder or Owner issued

This includes any directives, which refer to the same or similar military aircraft models which were issued after the earlier aircraft model derivatives left the military inventory. If the directive is issued for the same or similar military aircraft model as an offered aircraft, then the directive applies if the same condition exists, and the actions of the directive shall be complied with. The “same condition” means that the same part, structure, or operational condition identified in the military directive exists on the offered aircraft while performing Public Aircraft Operations under a Forest Service contract. Documenting the actions of the military directive can be in the form of an OEM, TC holder, Owner service information or USDA Forest Service issued service information. Access to the data can be through the OEM or US Forest Service.

The FAA’s Restricted Category Type Certification Order 8110.56B recommends in Chapter 4 Type Certification of 21.5(a)(2) Aircraft, 18.

Continued Operational Safety:

“Encourage TC holders and operators to evaluate military safety of flight messages, service bulletins, and maintenance instructions (for that model aircraft) that are published after the TC is issued, and take appropriate action.”

To comply with the FMR and follow the recommendations of the FAA’s Order, the Forest Service requires that military messages are evaluated and appropriate action is taken for the sake of continued operational safety while under contract to the Forest Service and performing Public Aircraft Operations.
