Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document cancels a previous aircraft safety rule for specific Fairchild (Swearingen) aeroplanes.

What it does

Revokes Airworthiness Directive AD/SWSA226/68 Amdt 5, which previously required inspections or actions related to pitch trim actuators (the mechanical components that adjust the aircraft's nose-up or nose-down position).
The safety requirements from the cancelled directive are now covered by a newer directive (AD/SWSA 226/95), so this rule is no longer needed.

Who it affects

Owners and operators of Fairchild (Swearingen) SA226 and SA227 series aircraft.
Licensed aircraft maintenance engineers and aviation safety inspectors responsible for these aircraft.

Why it matters

Prevents confusion by removing outdated requirements, ensuring operators and mechanics follow only the current, consolidated safety standards rather than overlapping or superseded rules.
