The original rule allowed operators to stop these inspections after completing 800 hours, but this new instrument removes the requirement entirely.\n\n**Who it affects**\nOwners and operators of Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) series aircraft.\n\n**Why it matters**\nAfter 30 years in force, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority determined this specific rivet inspection is no longer necessary to maintain airworthiness. This removes an obsolete maintenance obligation, saving operators time and money while safety risks are deemed to have passed."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-beech-200-12-amdt-2-vertical-stabiliser-cancelled/documents"}}
