Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document formally cancels an obsolete aviation safety rule about helicopter cargo hooks. What it was: An old rule (from 1978) required owners of Bell 205 helicopters to modify their external cargo suspension kits to fix load-bearing issues. Why it's cancelled: The original deadline for these modifications was 1 September 1978—over 30 years ago. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority assumes every affected aircraft has been fixed by now, so the rule is simply being removed from the books. Who it affects: Anyone still operating Bell 205 helicopters, though they would have already complied with this requirement decades ago.
