If you don't comply, you can't fly the aircraft legally. This instrument is essentially a **housekeeping exercise** — CASA is tidying up its legislative framework by reissuing these directives under clearer legal authority (the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998) rather than older regulations. The safety requirements themselves **haven't changed** — the note explicitly states each directive is being remade \"in exactly the same form\" as before.\n\nThis ensures these vintage military aircraft continue to meet modern safety standards while the legal basis for those standards stays technically sound."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument does not change the substantive scope of the Airworthiness Directives listed.
