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/BELL 212/43.

Bell Helicopter Textron 212 Series Helicopters

AD/BELL 212/43 Bogus Pressure Gauge Emergency
Floats P/N 212-073-905- 1 4/2009

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 9 April 2009.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1990, required a one off inspection of the pressure gauge for the emergency floats in accordance with Bell OSN-GEN-89-14 to ensure the component was an approved part.  The AD compliance was at the next inspection for Maintenance Release after 28 February 1990.  As all aircraft would have been inspected by now and the requirements of approved parts are covered by CAR 42W and CASR 21.303, the AD is no longer required.
