Twin Commander (Gulfstream/Rockwell/Aerocommander 500, 600 and 700) Series Aeroplanes

AD/AC/19 Throttle Control Rod Ends - Inspection
and Replacement 8/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 31 July 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, raised in 1961 against Aero Design (also known as Aero Commander) Service Bulletin (SB) No. 74A, required inspection of throttle control rod ends and replacement of aluminium control rods ends with ones manufactured from steel.

Compliance was forthwith.

As all affected aircraft would have been modified by now, this AD is considered to be no longer required.
