AD/SWSA226/7 Fuel Line and Heat Shroud Inspection 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/SWSA226/7.

Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 Series Aeroplanes

AD/SWSA226/7 Fuel Line and Heat Shroud - Inspection 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1972 against Swearingen Service Bulletin (SB) SB 71-30-3119 required an inspection for condition of fuel lines to the primary and secondary fuel manifolds, and that there is sufficient clearance between the fuel lines and the indentation in the heat shroud over the start-generator.

Compliance was:  Within 25 hours TIS after 9 October 1972.

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