changes. Except for references, the text of the proposed material is 
the same in MG 8 for both AC 27-1B and AC 29-2C. When these AC changes 
are finalized, they will be posted on the Internet Web site as 
accepted, but will not be published at that time. They will be 
published in the next change to AC 27-1B and AC 29-2C.
