The AD was raised in response to a defect found in an Australian aircraft. Compliance was required within 100 hours time in service after May 1977. The AD is no longer required. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nJames Coyne  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n16 July 2008","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/P68/5","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/P68/5","content":"## AD/P68/5","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Circuit Breaker Installation - Inspectio","sectionType":"part","heading":"Circuit Breaker Installation - Inspection","content":"## Circuit Breaker Installation - Inspection","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"9/2008","sectionType":"part","heading":"9/2008","content":"## 9/2008","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":1084},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument performs exactly the function indicated by its title and header—cancelling a previous Airworthiness Directive.

The rule required a one-time inspection within 100 flight hours to check the wiring was correct.\n\n**What it does now:**\nAs of 28 August 2008, that inspection requirement is **completely cancelled**. Owners and operators of Partenavia P68 aircraft no longer need to perform this specific check. The background notes explain that the safety issue is no longer considered a risk, making the old rule unnecessary."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-p68-5-circuit-breaker-installation-inspection-cancelled/documents"}}
