AD/HU 369/65 Fargo Auxiliary Fuel Tanks 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 369/65.

McDonnell Douglas (Hughes) and Kawasaki 369 Series Helicopters

AD/HU 369/65 Fargo Auxiliary Fuel Tanks 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1986 against Hughes Service Information Notice (SIN) No. DN-138, EN-26, FN-14 and Fargo Service Notice No. 2 Revision 1 required removal of Fargo auxiliary fuel tank, P/No AW1066-1082, for inspection for fuel leaks.

Compliance was:  Before further flight and before installation of tank in an aircraft.

This AD has been sufficiently promulgated 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
