AD/BELL 205/15 - Tail Rotor Hub Assembly - Inspection - CANCELLED

This instrument cancels a previous aviation safety directive that mandated special inspections of tail rotor hub assemblies on Bell 205 series helicopters.

What it means:

• For helicopter owners and operators: You no longer need to comply with the specific inspection mandate previously known as AD/BELL 205/15.
• Why it changed: The inspection procedure previously required by this directive has been incorporated into the standard aircraft maintenance manual. Because the manufacturer now includes these checks in routine maintenance documentation, a separate mandatory directive is unnecessary.
• Practical effect: This reduces regulatory burden while maintaining safety standards. The inspection requirement still exists but is now handled through normal maintenance processes rather than a special compliance directive issued by the safety regulator.
