AD/BELL 205/26 Fire Extinguisher Cartridges - Inspection 2/2009

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 12 February 2009.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1975, required a one off inspection of the fire extinguisher cartridges in accordance with Bell Alert Service Bulletin 205-75-7 as a number of cartridges have been found defective.  The AD compliance was within 100 hours time in service after 13 November 1975.  As all aircraft would have been inspected by now, the AD is no longer required.
