AD/BN-2/3 Vacuum Hose - Replacement 13/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 18 December 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised prior to1969 against Britten Norman Modification Leaflet (ML) BN-2/NB/M/165, Parts 1 and 2, requiring the replacement of the vacuum hose in each engine bay with a suitably reinforced hose to enhance reliability.

Compliance was within 100 hours TIS after 13 June 1968.

As all affected aircraft would have been modified by now, this AD is considered to be no longer required.
