ILLUSTRATIONS Cockpit arrangement, cockpit console, and cockpit instrument panel illustrations display the delivered configuration plus the approved equipment modifica- tions. For details of equipment modification, see the individual equipment illustration, SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES, Supplements are safety or operational and are indicated -1SS or -18, respectively. Supplements are issued as interim electronic messages or formal printed copies. All interim supplements are assigned odd numbers, such as 188-195. When an interim supplement is formalized, it is assigned the next following even number, such as -18S-196. Formal supplements not preceded by an interim supplement are also assigned even numbers. If an interim supplement is not to be formalized, a statement cancelling the next assigned even supplement ‘number is included in the REMARKS section of the interim supplement. If a formal supplement is not preceded by an interim supplement, a statement cancelling the previous odd supplement number is included on the status page of the formal supplement. Occasionally, a supplement has dual references in the instructions; this is because the supplement applies to the present and subsequent manual. Minor texvillustration changes or deletions are given as instructions in the supplement. When lengthy additions are required, the formal supplement provides one-sided insert page(s) to the flight manual and checklist. This supplement page(s) is attached to the original page(s). The original page(s) remains in the manual or checklist in case the supplement is, rescinded and the page(s) is needed. Added page(s) (eg, 348.1) are inserted in proper numerical sequence and may be printed on both si TO.
