AD/BELL 206/11 Main Rotor Blade Retention Bolt - Inspection 11/2008

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 23 October 2008.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1969, required inspection of the main rotor blade retention bolts, in accordance with Bell Service Letter 206A-55, to ensure that a drain hole was present.  The AD compliance was required within 100 hours time in service after 14 February 1969.  As all aircraft would have been inspected by now, the AD is no longer required.
