The AD is no longer required. |\n\n![](image.001.png)\n\nDavid Villiers  \nDelegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority\n\n2 October 2008","sortOrder":0},{"sectionNumber":"AD/PA-25/32","sectionType":"part","heading":"AD/PA-25/32","content":"## AD/PA-25/32","sortOrder":1},{"sectionNumber":"Fuselage Structure - Inspection","sectionType":"part","heading":"Fuselage Structure - Inspection","content":"## Fuselage Structure - Inspection","sortOrder":2},{"sectionNumber":"12/2008","sectionType":"part","heading":"12/2008","content":"## 12/2008","sortOrder":3}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":2514},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument serves its original intended purpose as a time-limited safety directive.
