AD/AC/44 Engine Tailpipe Assemblies Inspection and/or Replacement Cancelled (Cth)

AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE

On the effective date specified below, and for the reasons set out in the background section, the CASA delegate whose signature appears below revokes Airworthiness Directive AD/AC/44.

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

AD/AC/44 Engine Tailpipe Assemblies - Inspection
and/or Replacement 8/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 31 July 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, raised in 1970 against Aero Commander Service Bulletin (SB) No. 100, required an inspection, and if cracks or breaks were evident, replacement of the engine tailpipe assemblies.

Compliance was before 1 September 1971.

As all affected aircraft would have had tailpipe assemblies replaced by now, this AD is considered to be no longer required.

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
