Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument cancels a previous airworthiness directive that mandated repetitive Mode C transponder altitude-reporting checks. It frees affected aircraft owners/operators from that specific regulatory obligation and was issued by CASA (signed 2 May 2000, gazetted 17 May 2000). The revocation cites the FAA’s rescission—its finding that repetitive tests were unnecessary and increased component wear.
