Electrical Equipment

AD/ELECT/15 Engine Starter - Bendix - Modification 2/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 12 February 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1964 required all Bendix starters type 756 fitted to aircraft where the starter is necessary for propeller unfeathering and to be modified by replacing all planetary pinions P/N 46916 with pinions P/N 644718, and identifying with a "P" painted in red  adjacent to the starter nameplate.

Compliance was before 31 March 1965.

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

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
