For aircraft incorporating Graviner 156D overheat detectors which have accumulated 7,000 flight hours or 4 years since new or from last calibration, perform a workshop calibration and functional test of the overheat detectors within the next 3,000 flight hours or fourteen (14) months, whichever is the earlier; thereafter, repeat this test at intervals not to exceed 10,000 flight hours or 6 years, whichever occurs first.
D. Overheat detectors that do not pass the tests of paragraphs B. or C., above, must be replaced before further flight.
