Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: This document officially cancels Australia's very first Airworthiness Directive (AD/AUS/1), a safety rule originally issued in 1950.

What the old rule did: It required urgent maintenance on the lift struts (the metal supports connecting the wings to the fuselage) of Auster/Beagle A.61 series aeroplanes manufactured before May 1947. Owners had to comply immediately.

Why it matters: The rule is being cancelled because all affected aircraft were modified decades ago. As of 30 July 2009, this maintenance requirement no longer applies to anyone.

Who is affected: Technically, owners of vintage Auster/Beagle aircraft, though practically speaking, nobody needs to do anything—the work was completed long ago.
