It **revokes and immediately remakes** three existing Airworthiness Directives (ADs) for specific Tecnam aeroplane models (P92, P96, and P2002 series).\n\n**What it does:**\n- **Revokes** the existing Airworthiness Directive AD/TECNAM/1 concerning the \"Fin Rear Spar\" on these aircraft\n- **Remakes** that same directive as a separate, standalone legal instrument\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Owners and operators of Tecnam P92, P96, and P2002 series aeroplanes\n- Maintenance organisations servicing these aircraft\n- The manufacturer (Tecnam)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nAirworthiness Directives are legally binding safety instructions. When CASA identifies a safety issue with an aircraft design, they issue an AD requiring inspection, repair, or modification. This particular instrument is an **administrative housekeeping measure** — the Note explicitly states each directive is being \"re-made in exactly the same form\" as before. This suggests CASA was restructuring how these directives are organised as legal instruments (perhaps moving from a consolidated format to separate standalone instruments) without changing the actual safety requirements.\n\n**Key takeaway:** If you own one of these aircraft, **nothing changes** in terms of what you must do to keep your plane airworthy. The safety requirements remain identical; only the legal paperwork structure has been updated."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The instrument revokes and re-makes the listed Airworthiness Directive(s) in the same form as the latest published editions (Note). It therefore does not change the substantive scope or content of the AD(s) as stated in the source text; it changes only the legal form by making each AD a separate attached instrument (opening paragraph; Note; Schedule 1)."},"complexity_factors":["Short, procedural instrument with a single clear action (revocation and re-making of listed ADs).","Reference to an enabling subregulation (39.001(1)) requires familiarity with the parent regulations to see the full legal authority.","Use of external attachments and a schedule (the substantive AD text is not included in the body, but referenced as attached), which requires checking the attachments or the published AD to know substantive requirements.","Formal/legal terminology (revocation, make as separate instruments) that is procedural rather than substantive."],"plain_english_summary":"What this instrument does\n\n- A delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) uses a delegated power (subregulation 39.001(1)) to revoke the airworthiness directives listed in Schedule 1 and to re-make each of those directives as separate, attached instruments. (see opening paragraph and Schedule 1)\n- The Schedule lists one Airworthiness Directive affecting Tecnam P92, P96 and P2002 series aeroplanes: \"Fin Rear Spar — AD/TECNAM/1.\" (see Schedule 1)\n- The instrument records the delegate (David Alan Villiers) and the date (20 December 2004). A note states that each attached Airworthiness Directive is being re-made in exactly the same form as appears in the latest published edition of the Directive. (see signature block and Note)\n\nWho decides and how it works mechanically\n\n- Decision-maker: a CASA delegate acting under subregulation 39.001(1) decides to revoke and to re-make the listed Airworthiness Directives. The power and action are stated expressly in the instrument.\n- Mechanical effect: the listed ADs are revoked as entries in the prior instrument and then issued again as separate instruments attached to this instrument. The document itself does not change the text of the ADs: it states they are re-made in the same form as the latest published editions. (see opening paragraph and Note)\n\nWho is affected\n\n- The instrument names the Airworthiness Directive by model series (TECNAM P92, P96, P2002) and by AD identifier (AD/TECNAM/1). The text does not identify specific persons or entities; it therefore affects whoever is subject to the listed Airworthiness Directive under the governing regulatory scheme. (see Schedule 1)\n\nWhy it matters (official claim and practical implications)\n\n- Official claim in the document: the ADs in Schedule 1 are revoked and re-made in the same form (Note). The document does not state further reasons for doing this.\n- Practical implication: because the ADs are formally revoked and re-made as separate instruments, references, filing systems, and legal instrument lists will reflect the new instrument form and attachments rather than the prior consolidated entry. This is an administrative/formatting change in legal form rather than a stated substantive change to the content of the ADs. (see opening paragraph; Note)\n\nCosts, incentives, trade-offs and implementation points (source-grounded)\n\n- The instrument does not specify costs or who bears them. The text is limited to revocation and re-issuance of the listed AD(s). (source: full instrument text)\n- Compliance and record-keeping: the change alters the legal form of the ADs (revocation + separate attached instruments). Parties who rely on or reference these ADs (not named in the text) may need to update their records or citations to reflect the newly-issued separate instruments. The instrument itself does not set new compliance actions or timetables. (see opening paragraph and Note)\n- Discretion and implementation risk: the action is taken by a CASA delegate under an identified subregulation. The instrument specifies the action to revoke and re-make; it does not indicate further discretionary powers exercised in this document. Any implementation risk chiefly arises from administrative tasks of replacing prior references with the newly-made instruments. (see subregulation reference and Note)\n\nConcentrated benefits and substitution effects\n\n- The instrument does not state any transfer of funds, regulatory exemptions, or new substantive obligations. It does not identify beneficiaries, nor does it alter the substantive content of the listed AD(s) according to the Note. (see Note)\n\nKey source citations\n\n- Delegation and authority: subregulation 39.001(1) (opening paragraph).\n- Action taken: revocation of ADs listed in Schedule 1 and making each AD as separate attached instruments (opening paragraph and Schedule 1).\n- Specific AD listed: Fin Rear Spar — AD/TECNAM/1, for TECNAM P92, P96, and P2002 series aeroplanes (Schedule 1).\n- Form of re-issue: each attached Airworthiness Directive is re-made in exactly the same form as the latest published edition (Note, 20 December 2004)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes","history":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes/history","analysis":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/airworthiness-directives-2004-revocation-and-remaking-tecnam-p92-p96-and-p2002-series-aeroplanes/documents"}}
