AD/SWSA226/48 Swivel Reading Lights Inspection/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/SWSA226/48.

Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 Series Aeroplanes

AD/SWSA226/48 Swivel Reading
Lights - Inspection/Modification 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1984 against Fairchild Aircraft Corporation Service Bulletin (SB) 33-003 revised 5th October 1983 required an inspection and modification to prevent a potential short circuit between the overhead air hoses and the electrical terminals of the reading lights.

Compliance was:  Prior to 31 December 1984.

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

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
