From **27 October 2016**, operators were no longer legally required to follow the specific maintenance, inspection, or modification requirements contained in that directive.\n\n**Who made it**\n\nA delegate of **CASA** (the Civil Aviation Safety Authority) — the Australian Government body that regulates aviation safety — made this instrument under the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nAustralian airlines, charter operators, and maintenance organisations that operate or service Airbus A320 aircraft.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nAirworthiness Directives are mandatory safety instructions. Repealing one removes a legal obligation, typically because the safety risk has been resolved, the manufacturer's instructions have changed, or the requirement is no longer necessary."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive","history":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casa-adcx-020-16-repeal-of-airworthiness-directive/documents"}}
