AD/B767/78 Amdt 1 - Midspar Fuse Pins - CANCELLED

What this does

This document cancels a previous aviation safety rule for Boeing 767 aircraft. The original rule (Airworthiness Directive B767/78) required specific maintenance or inspections on midspar fuse pins—critical structural components in the aircraft wings.

Why it matters

Australian aircraft owners and operators no longer need to follow the specific technical requirements in the old Australian directive. Instead, they must comply with a newer American Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety directive (FAA AD 2010-03-08), which automatically applies under Australian law and supersedes the cancelled rule.

Who it affects

Owners, operators, and maintenance organisations responsible for Boeing 767 series aircraft registered in Australia.

Key dates

The cancellation takes effect on 19 February 2010.
