  This instrument applies to the Boeing B777 aircraft (the aircraft) operated by the registered operator Virgin Blue International Airlines Pty Ltd, trading as V Australia, Aviation Reference Number 768593.

(b) the registered operator must ensure that each State of Design AD is certified upon completion as if it were an Australian AD; and
