Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous safety inspection requirement for Bell 205 series helicopters.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Bell Helicopter Textron 205 series helicopters that were previously required to follow Airworthiness Directive AD/BELL 205/43.

What changed: Previously, operators had to inspect engine air inlet screens (part number 204-060-217-013) every 10 hours of flight time if those screens were installed. As of 19 November 2009, this requirement no longer applies. You do not need to perform these specific inspections anymore.

Why it matters: This removes an outdated maintenance burden that was unique to Australia and not based on manufacturer guidance. It simplifies maintenance requirements for these aircraft and brings Australian rules into line with current safety assessments.
