AD/BELL 205/29 Main Rotor Blade Bolt Washer - Inspection 3/2009

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 12 March 2009.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1976, required a one off inspection of the main rotor blade bolt washer in accordance with Bell SB No. 205-76-1 to ensure the blade retention bolt washers, P/N 204-011-152-1, are installed correctly.  The AD compliance was within 25 hours time in service after 24 March 1976.  As all aircraft would have been inspected by now, the AD is no longer required.
