AD/BELL 205/53 Main Rotor Pillow Block 4/2009

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 9 April 2009.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1987, required checking the torque on the nuts retaining the pillow block to the yoke every 25 flight hours until modified in accordance with Bell Alert SB No 205-87-25.  The AD compliance for modification was by 30 June 1987.  As all aircraft would have been modified by now, the AD is no longer required.
