AD/HU 369/25 Longitudinal Cyclic Friction Guide Link Modification 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/HU 369/25.

McDonnell Douglas (Hughes) and Kawasaki 369 Series Helicopters

AD/HU 369/25 Longitudinal Cyclic Friction
Guide Link - Modification 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1977 against Hughes Service Information Notice (SIN) No. HN-103.1 required a modification to the cyclic pitch control longitudinal friction guide link in order to increase full aft travel when rigging the cyclic controls to obtain proper blade angle travel.

Compliance was:  Within 100 hours TIS after 31 March 1977.

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

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
