AD/SWSA226/9 Main Landing Gear Uplock Roller Inspection and 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/SWSA226/9.

Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 Series Aeroplanes

AD/SWSA226/9 Main Landing Gear Uplock
Roller - Inspection and Modification 6/2009

Requirement:

CANCELLED.

This AD is cancelled on 4 June 2009.

Background:

This unique Australian AD raised in 1973 against Swearingen Service Bulletin (SB) SB 30-10-3028 required an inspection, and possible modification, of the main landing gear uplock roller bracket to ensure proper seating of the bolt head and nut.

Compliance was:  Within 100 hours TIS after 28 February 1973.

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.

Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority
