As of 19 November 2009, this requirement no longer applies. You do not need to perform these specific inspections anymore.\n\n**Why it matters:** This removes an outdated maintenance burden that was unique to Australia and not based on manufacturer guidance. It simplifies maintenance requirements for these aircraft and brings Australian rules into line with current safety assessments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-bell-205-43-engine-air-inlet-screen-inspection-cancelled/documents"}}
