What this document does

This cancels a previous safety rule (Airworthiness Directive AD/SD3-60/66) that required maintenance actions on elevator trim tab balance weight brackets for Short SD3-60 series aircraft (regional turboprop planes).

Why it matters

The safety requirements haven't disappeared—they've simply been moved to a different directive (AD/SD3-60/68 Amendment 1). This cancellation prevents confusion by removing duplicate rules and ensures aircraft operators follow the current, consolidated requirements rather than outdated ones.

Who it affects

Owners, operators, and maintenance engineers responsible for Short SD3-60 series aeroplanes.
