d) If an inspection of the control wheel installation in accordance with EMBRAER Alert Service Bulletin No. 110-027-A070, dated February 10, 1983, verifies that the aircraft has Control Wheel Spindle P/N 111A-500-10-01-10-01 or P/N 110-500-10-01-10-04 installed at both crew stations, or upon installation of either of the above part numbers, the requirements of paragraphs a) and b) of this AD are no longer applicable.
