Previously, owners had to perform this work within 100 flight hours after June 1978 following the manufacturer's Service Bulletin No. 600-73. As of 4 June 2009, this requirement no longer applies.\n\n**Why it matters:** While the original rule was important for flight safety (ensuring the ailerons — the wing flaps that control rolling — stayed securely attached), this cancellation means the Civil Aviation Safety Authority has determined the inspection is no longer necessary for airworthiness."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-tsa-600-15-outboard-aileron-hinge-bolt-installation-inspection-and-modification-cancelled/documents"}}
