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 212/48.

Bell Helicopter Textron 212 Series Helicopters

AD/BELL 212/48 Tension Torsion Straps Retention Pins 4/2009

Requirement:	CANCELLED.
This AD is cancelled on 9 April 2009.
Background:	This unique Australian AD, issued in 1991, required a one off inspection of the tension torsion strap retention pins in accordance with Bell Alert Service Bulletin 212-91-68 to ensure the pins were approved parts.  The AD compliance was prior to further flight after 17 October 1991.  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.
