It means that after December 2009 DG want you to
use the later version which presumably for
continuing airworthiness requires paying a ransom each year to DG.

Hi All,
I copy/pasted this from a Dutch forum:
Dear Sir / Madam,
I am owner of a DG-500M from DG-Flugzeugbau.
I have the following question.
In
EASA-TCDS-A.239_DG_Flugzeugbau_Single_Seaters-02-05102010.pdf
one can find for each of the
DG-100/200/300/400/600 series a section named:
Operating and Service Instructions.
In several of these sections one can find that
either the "old" Maintenance Manual OR the
Maintenance Manual issued December 2009 as amended can be used.
In
EASA-TCDS-A.233_DG_Flugzeugbau_DG--500-01-15092010.pdf
one can find under the same section Operating
and Service Instructions that for, for instance,
the DG-500M the Maintenance Manual issue July
1990 as well as the Maintenance Manual issued
December 2009 as amended are mentioned.
Can you tell me what is the meaning of the
mentioning of both Maintenance Manuals?
Do I have to use both?
Or can I use only one of them? And is this my choice or not?
With Regards,
Sjoerd Talsma
Ik kreeg daarop het volgende antwoord: ( I received the following answer )
Dear Sir/Madam,
The new version of Operating and Service
Instructions has been inserted in the TCDS
because DG-Flugzeugbau has applied to EASA for
their approval through a change request.
Indeed, in these documents, you can read that
operators may use the Operating and Service
Instructions issued formerly OR in December 2009.
Part-M requires usage of latest Instructions for
Continuing Airworthiness, but your National
Aviation Authority (NAA) can approve deviating maintenance programmes.
Having said that, we are advised that this may
cause confusion at the NAAs when they have to
approve the maintenance programmes and that some
NAAs may require the latest amended versions of the AMM.
There is nothing we can do to insist that the
earlier original version should be acceptable as
well as long as the differences are editorial or for convenience.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
