This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This document cancels a previous safety rule that required helicopter operators to inspect the main rotor anti-flapping restrainer on Sikorsky S-62 series helicopters.
What it does:
Why the change: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) determined that the inspection is now adequately covered in the manufacturer's maintenance manual, making the separate regulatory directive unnecessary.
Who is affected: Owners and operators of Sikorsky S-62 series helicopters.
Practical impact: Operators no longer need to comply with the specific requirements of AD/S-62/8, but must continue following the manufacturer's maintenance manual procedures for the anti-flapping restrainer.
