AD/BEECH 65/10 Amdt 1 Lower Rudder Hinge Assembly Inspection 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/BEECH 65/10 Amdt 1.

Beechcraft 65 and 70 (Queen Air) Series Aeroplanes

AD/BEECH 65/10 Amdt 1 Lower Rudder Hinge Assembly - Inspection 6/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 5 June 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD was raised in 1969 against Beechcraft Service Instruction (SI) No. 0170-131 requiring a one-off inspection to check for possible cracked rudder hinge assemblies and misaligned hinge casting spacers.  Compliance with this AD was required within 100 hours TIS after 6 June 1969.

As all affected aircraft would have been inspected, and, if necessary, modified long ago, this AD is no longer required.
