(See the operative paragraph and Schedule 1.)\n- The instrument lists each affected AD in Schedule 1 by its subject and AD number (for example, \"Strobe Light Bonding Straps AD/BEECH 200/1\"). Some entries in the Schedule are marked \"CANCELLED\", and many entries show amendment numbers (for example, \"Amdt 3\").\n- A note says each attached AD is re‑made in exactly the same form as appears in the latest published edition of the Directive. In short: the content of each AD is not changed by this instrument; they are revoked in their existing collective form and issued again as separate instruments matching the current published versions. (See the Note.)\n\n**Who is affected**\n\n- Aircraft owners and operators of Beechcraft 200 (Super King Air) series aeroplanes: they remain subject to whatever inspection, modification, replacement or operational requirements are specified in each AD. They also need to track the new standalone AD instruments for compliance and record‑keeping.\n- Maintenance organisations, licensed aircraft engineers and continuing airworthiness managers: responsible for carrying out the work and updating maintenance records to reference the re‑made AD instruments.\n- CASA and its inspectors: must adopt the separate AD instruments as the legal basis for enforcement, compliance checks and audit.\n\n**Why it matters (official claim, then practical test)**\n\n- Official claim: the instrument consolidates CASA’s current published AD material by revoking the old collective instrument and re‑making each AD as a separate, identical instrument, i.e. an administrative re‑issuance to match the latest published editions. (Source: operative paragraph and Note.)\n\nPractical implications, costs and incentives:\n\n- Legal/evidential clarity: making each AD a separate instrument can make it easier to cite, amend or repeal single ADs in future. That benefits regulators (concentrated benefit) and may slightly reduce legal ambiguity when referencing obligations.\n- Compliance burden on operators: the substantive technical requirements do not change under this instrument (the ADs are re‑made in the same form), so the direct technical compliance costs (inspections, parts, labour) remain as before. There is an administrative cost to operators and maintenance organisations to update documentation, logbooks and internal compliance trackers to cite the new standalone AD instruments.\n- Recordkeeping and audit: maintenance organisations and operators will need to ensure their records reference the correct, newly issued AD instruments to satisfy audits and airworthiness checks. That may cause short‑term administrative workload.\n- Market effects: there is no new technical requirement here to change competition, prices or contract freedom beyond the existing ADs. The instrument does not itself impose new engineering obligations; it changes legal form and presentation.\n- Regulatory discretion: the instrument is a straight revocation/re‑issuance; it does not create new decision points or discretionary powers beyond those already contained in the ADs and the enabling regulation (subregulation 39.001(1)).\n- Implementation risk: the main operational risk is administrative error—mis‑labelling, mis‑filing or failure to adopt the new instrument references could cause confusion in compliance checks. The Schedule includes some ADs marked \"CANCELLED\"; those removals (if they reflect operative cancellations) reduce obligations for affected parties but should be confirmed against the attached re‑made instruments.\n\n**Who pays and who decides**\n\n- CASA (via its delegate) decides to revoke and re‑issue the ADs (the delegate exercised the power under subregulation 39.001(1)). The costs of issuing the instruments fall on the regulator (administration and publication), while the costs of complying with the substantive AD requirements are paid by aircraft owners/operators and maintenance providers.\n\n**Concrete changes to behaviour**\n\n- Operators and maintainers must update their compliance documentation to cite the new standalone ADs and ensure any outstanding mandated actions remain completed to the standards set in the re‑made ADs.\n- CASA and industry participants will reference and manage ADs as separate legal instruments rather than as parts of a single collective instrument.\n\n**Source references in the instrument**\n\n- Power used: subregulation 39.001(1) of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (operative paragraph).\n- Action taken: revocation and individual remaking of the ADs listed in Schedule 1 (operative paragraph and Schedule 1).\n- Confirmation that content is unchanged: Note stating each attached AD is re‑made in exactly the same form as the latest published edition."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
