AD/SWSA226/10 Engine Windmilling Limits Placard Installation 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/SWSA226/10.

Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 Series Aeroplanes

AD/SWSA226/10 Engine Windmilling Limits
Placard - Installation 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1973 against a manufacturers recommendation to install a placard on the instrument panel adjacent to the Fuel Consumption Totalizer indicating engine windmilling RPM and duration limitations to avoid engine damage.

Compliance was:  Within 10 hours TIS after 5 July 1973.

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

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
