The Boeing Company issues operations manual bulletins as required. Bulletins transmit temporary information which must be issued before the next formal revision to the operations manual or information of interest to all operators.
Bulletins are numbered sequentially for each operator. Each new bulletin is recorded in this record when received and filed as instructed. A bulletin may not apply to all airplane models. Each bulletin specifically identifies the airplane effectivity. When appropriate, the next formal operations manual revision will include an updated bulletin record page.
Temporary information is normally incorporated into the manual at the next formal revision. When the condition remains temporary after a bulletin incorporation, the temporary paragraphs are identified by a heading referencing the originating bulletin. When the temporary condition no longer exists, the bulletin is canceled and the original manual content is restored.
Bulletin status is defined as follows:
The person filing a new or revised bulletin should amend the Bulletin Record as instructed in the Administrative Information section of the bulletin. When a bulletin includes replacement pages for the Flight Crew Operations Manual or QRH, the included pages should be filed as instructed in the Flight Crew Operations Manual Information section of the bulletin.
