Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule (called an Airworthiness Directive) that required owners of specific helicopters to inspect their battery connections.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Eurocopter AS 350 (Ecureuil) series helicopters.

The old rule: Previously, operators had to perform a one-time inspection before July 1988 to verify that a "shorting link" (a small metal bridge that connects two electrical pins for safety) was present between pins 2 and 3 on the battery thermal sensor connector.

Why it changed: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has determined this specific inspection is no longer necessary. Effective 30 July 2009, the requirement is abolished, meaning operators no longer need to perform this check.
