AD/HU 369/8 Tail Rotor Blades - Inspection 10/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 24 September 2009.

Background:

This AD, raised in 1971 against Hughes Service Information Notice (SIN) No.
HN-19.1, required an inspection to determine if excessive bond separation existed between stainless steel abrasion strip and fibreglass skin of the tail rotor blade assembly.

As the SIN is no longer active as a Service Bulletin (SB), this AD is no longer required.
