Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this is: This document officially cancels an old aviation safety rule for a specific type of aircraft — the Meta Sokol L.40 series.

What it did originally: The cancelled rule required owners to modify the elevator control system (the cables that help control the plane's up-and-down movement) by installing a specific cable assembly with the turnbuckle (a tension-adjusting device) at the front end. This had to be done before September 1971.

Why it's cancelled: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) decided this modification is no longer required for airworthiness. The cancellation took effect on 27 August 2009.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of Meta Sokol L.40 series aeroplanes who were previously subject to this requirement.
