AD/DHE/17 Carburettor 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/DHE/17.

De Havilland Piston Engines

AD/DHE/17 Carburettor - Inspection 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1961 against DH Technical News Sheet (TNS) TNS G.Q.30 No. 63, applicable to Gipsy Queen series 30 engines, required an inspection to prevent a failure of carburettor power jet and/or slow running jet plug from causing a fire hazard.

Compliance was:  Forthwith.

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