Compliance: Before 13 October 2000, unless already accomplished. This Amendment becomes effective on 13 July 2000. Background: With the installation of a certain baggage net in combination with the kinked bulkhead, it has been found that the forward webbing of the net is too close to the aft face of the bulkhead. This situation may result in baggage overloading the bulkhead's floor attachments. This Directive requires the installation of placards.

Amendment 1 is issued in response to a revision of the related LBA AD which adds three aircraft serial numbers to applicability.
