AD/BEECH 90/64 Nose Compartment Door Latching Modification 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 90/64.

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

AD/BEECH 90/64 Nose Compartment
Door Latching - Modification 8/2008

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 31 July 2008.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, raised in 1982 against Beechcraft Service Instruction (SI) No.1171, required the provision of an additional latching feature for the hinged nose baggage door following fatal accidents overseas caused by the door opening on take-off.  Compliance was before 1 March 1982, so all affected aircraft would have been modified long ago.
