AD/F406/19 - Flap Push Rod Assemblies - CANCELLED

This document cancels an Australian aviation safety rule that previously applied to specific aircraft.

What it does

• Cancels Airworthiness Directive (a mandatory safety instruction) AD/F406/19 effective 6 November 2009
• Removes all previous requirements relating to flap push rod assemblies on Reims Aviation F406 series aeroplanes

Who it affects

• Owners and operators of Reims Aviation F406 aircraft (light twin-engine utility planes)
• Licensed aircraft maintenance engineers and repair stations servicing these aircraft

Why it matters The cancelled rule previously mandated specific inspections or repairs to ensure the safety of flap control systems. These Australian requirements are now replaced by a European aviation safety regulation (EASA AD 2009-0127R1). Operators must now follow the European directive instead of this cancelled Australian rule.
