Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This instrument cancels a previous safety directive (Airworthiness Directive AD/DAUPHIN/20) that required daily inspections of the main rotor servo on specific Eurocopter Dauphin helicopters.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Eurocopter SA 360 and SA 365 (Dauphin) series helicopters registered in Australia.

Why it matters: The safety inspection itself hasn't been abolished—it's just been moved into the standard aircraft maintenance handbook (specifically MET section 5.21.603). Because the check is now part of routine maintenance requirements, having a separate mandatory directive was unnecessary red tape. This cancellation streamlines compliance by removing the duplication.
