This was a unique Australian requirement that was not based on the manufacturer's own service bulletins.\n\n**What this document does:**\nIt cancels that inspection requirement effective **18 December 2008**. Owners of these aircraft are no longer legally required to perform this specific hose check.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIf you own or operate one of these aircraft, this removes a compliance burden. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) has determined this particular safety rule is no longer necessary for airworthiness."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-pa-30-15-flexible-hose-assemblies-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
