Compliance:

If a certificate of airworthiness has not been issued for the aircraft - before issue of the certificate of airworthiness.

If a certificate of airworthiness has been issued for the aircraft - within 30 days after the effective date of this Directive.

CASA has determined that these ADs may be applicable to recently-registered Australian aircraft. This Directive is issued to ensure all State of Design ADs are complied with.CASA appreciates that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration and modification status, some of the ADs listed in Table 1 will not be applicable to some aeroplanes. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nMike Higgins \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n8 April 2010","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/A330/112","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/A330/112","content":"## AD/A330/112","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sectionType":"part","heading":"State of Design Airworthiness Directives","content":"## State of Design Airworthiness Directives","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"8/2010","sectionType":"part","heading":"8/2010","content":"## 8/2010","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":4,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The Directive does not alter the substantive content of the listed DGAC ADs.
