AD/HU 369/33 Amdt 1 Fuselage Structure, Forward Section 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 369/33 Amdt 1.

McDonnell Douglas (Hughes) and Kawasaki 369 Series Helicopters

AD/HU 369/33 Amdt 1 Fuselage Structure,
Forward Section - Modification 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This AD, raised in 1980 against Hughes Service Information Notice (SIN)
No. DN-25.1, required a modification to the fuselage frame structure to provide reinforcement at the forward attach points for the engine inlet fairing assemblies.  Compliance was required at the next major or 1200 hour inspection.

As all affected aircraft would have been modified long ago, this AD is no longer required.
