Tuc,
I know that you know, but just to clarify to some that may not know...The M-B SIL is "Approved Data" and is written by the OEM giving particular information and/or instructions for a specific issue on a specified item. As such, the SIL takes precedence over any general standards and practices laid down in documents like MODs RA's or, for civil aircraft, AMM Standard Practices.
