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/CESSNA 207/6.

Cessna 207 Series Aeroplanes

AD/CESSNA 207/6 Alternator Earth Lead 10/2008

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 25 September 2008.

Background:

This unique Australian AD, issued in 1972, required an inspection to ensure the alternator earth lead was fitted, in good condition and securely attached due local and overseas reports of fuel line puncture caused by electrical arching resulting in fire.

Compliance was within 100 hours TIS after 29 February 1972.

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

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
