The directive outlines the cancellation of a previous AD that mandated inspections of the left-hand rudder cable installation. The cancellation is based on the fact that all aircraft have been modified to rectify the previously identified unsafe condition.

Airworthiness Directive Cancellation

The document officially cancels Airworthiness Directive AD/BEECH 200/32, which was issued in 1981. This directive required inspections of the left-hand rudder cable installation to prevent abnormal wear and potential in-flight cable separation. The cancellation is effective as of 10 April 2008.

Background of the Directive

The original directive mandated compliance within 100 hours of time in service after 31 July 1981. It required inspections to be conducted according to Beechcraft Service Instruction 1172. The unsafe condition was determined to no longer exist as all aircraft have been modified.

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA (Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998), PART 39 - 105 CIVIL AVIATION SAFETY AUTHORITY SCHEDULE OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES Page 1 of 1 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/BEECH 200/32. Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) Series Aeroplanes AD/BEECH 200/32 Left Hand Rudder Cable Installation 4/2008 Requirement: CANCELLED. This AD is cancelled on 10 April 2008. Background: This unique Australian airworthiness directive (AD), issued in 1981, required inspection of the LH rudder cable to ensure the cable had been correctly routed in the under-floor area as incorrect routing would cause abnormal wear that could lead to in- flight cable separation. The inspection was to be carried out in accordance with Beechcraft Service Instruction (SI) 1172 rather than a State of Design airworthiness directive. Compliance with the AD was required within 100 hours time in service after 31 July 1981. As all aircraft would now be modified, the unsafe condition no longer exists.
