AD/SM-260/1 Engine Mount 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/SM-260/1.

SIAI Marchetti 260 Series Aeroplanes

AD/SM-260/1 Engine Mount - Modification 8/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 30 July 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1970 against SIAI Marchetti Service Bulletin (SB) SB No. 260B3 required an inspection and replacement of engine mount with modified engine mount.

Compliance was as detailed in requirement document, which was successive inspections at 25 hour intervals until necessary to replace at next 100 hours inspection.

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.
