Ad/CL-600/17 - Flight Controls - Elevator Cable Inspection - Cancelled (Cth)

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/CL-600/17.

Bombardier (Canadair) CL-600 (Challenger) Series Aeroplanes

AD/CL-600/17 Flight Controls - Elevator Cable Inspection 11/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 22 October 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1988 against Canadair Service Bulletin (SB)
No. 600-0522 required a one-time inspection for fouling between the wiring harness leading to the autopilot pitch servo and the elevator control cables.

Compliance was:  Within 100 hours TIS after 3 November 1988, or prior to the issue of a Certificate of Airworthiness.

This AD has been sufficiently promulgated over an extended period for the affected aircraft to have been inspected by now; therefore this AD is considered to be no longer required.

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
