AD/Robin/3 Engine Mount Inspection and Replacement 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/ROBIN/3.

Robin Aviation Series Aeroplanes

AD/ROBIN/3 Engine Mount - Inspection and Replacement 7/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 2 July 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1982 against Avions Pierre Robin Service Bulletin (SB) SB No.89 required an inspection for cracks in the engine mounting.

Compliance was:  Inspect initially before further flight and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 100 hours TIS until replaced.  Replace not later than next major inspection, or 1 July 1982.

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