Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: Cancels an old aircraft safety rule that is no longer needed.

The old rule: Since 1972, owners of Beagle B121 (Pup) aeroplanes had to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the rudder to let moisture escape and prevent corrosion or damage.

What changes: The rule is completely cancelled as of 2 July 2009.

Why it matters: Aircraft owners and maintenance engineers no longer need to check or comply with this specific directive. The cancellation recognises that every affected plane was modified decades ago (the original deadline was 100 flying hours after April 1972), making the rule redundant.
