Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This document officially cancels a previous aviation safety rule called an Airworthiness Directive (AD) — specifically AD/TPE 331/22.

Who it affects: Owners and operators of aircraft powered by AlliedSignal (Garrett/AiResearch) TPE 331 series turbine engines.

What changed: The original rule required these operators to inspect the fuel control brackets on their engines within 100 hours of flying time, following a specific manufacturer service bulletin (Airesearch SB No. 73-0036). This requirement is now removed. As of 24 September 2009, operators no longer need to perform these inspections or follow the associated shimming and torque procedures.

Why it matters: The Civil Aviation Safety Authority has determined these inspections are no longer necessary for safety. This saves aircraft operators time and maintenance costs by removing an outdated regulatory burden.
