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 90/61.

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

AD/BEECH 90/61 Pilot and Co-Pilot
Seatback Pan - Modification 7/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 3 July 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, issued in 1981 against Beechcraft Service Instruction (SI) No. 1176, required adding a cut-out in the pilot's and co-pilot's seatback pan to reduce the possibility of slack in the shoulder harness caused by friction between the seatback pan and the shoulder harness.

Compliance was within 100 hours TIS after 31 July 1981.

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