AD/AC/69 Main Landing Gear Torque Link
Pin Retaining Bolt - Inspection 8/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 31 July 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, raised in 1978 against Rockwell International (also known as Aero Commander) Service Letter (SL) No. 319, required inspection of main landing gear torque link pin retaining bolt to ensure that the bolt is properly secured.

Compliance was within 25 hours TIS after 22 August 1978.

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