AD/BEECH 90/5 Amdt 1 Landing Gear Chain and Torque Shaft 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 90/5 Amdt 1.

Beechcraft 90 and 65-90 (King Air) Series Aeroplanes

AD/BEECH 90/5 Amdt 1 Landing Gear Chain and
Torque Shaft - Inspection 7/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 3 July 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, raised in 1967 against Beechcraft Service Bulletin (SB) No.67-1, required a one-off inspection of the landing gear chain tension and torque to ensure proper operation of the landing gear retract mechanism.

Compliance was forthwith.

As all affected aircraft would have been inspected by now, it is considered that the AD is no longer required.

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
