Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule about airplane propeller cracks.

What it is: Airworthiness Directive (AD) AD/PMC/49 previously required aircraft owners to inspect and fix cracking issues in McCauley variable-pitch propeller blades. This document cancels those requirements as of 28 August 2008.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of aircraft fitted with affected McCauley propellers.

Why it matters: The American aviation safety authority (FAA) issued a new, broader safety rule that replaces the old one. Australian authorities have replaced this cancelled directive with a new one (AD/PMC/52) that covers the updated requirements.

Bottom line: You no longer need to follow the old rule (AD/PMC/49), but you must comply with the new replacement rule (AD/PMC/52) instead.
