Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels (revokes) two mandatory aircraft maintenance safety rules known as Airworthiness Directives — these are legally binding instructions that tell aircraft owners what repairs or inspections they must perform.

What it does

Removes the legal requirement to follow two specific maintenance rules:
- AD/A320/144 Amdt 2 (relating to Airbus A320 aircraft) — cancelled on 10 January 2014
- AD/PA-18/13 Amdt 5 (relating to Piper PA-18 aircraft) — cancelled on 14 January 2014

Who it affects

Owners, operators, and maintenance engineers responsible for these specific aircraft types
Airlines and aviation businesses maintaining these aircraft in Australia

Why it matters When an Airworthiness Directive is revoked, the safety inspections or repairs it required are no longer legally mandatory. This typically happens when the safety problem has been resolved through design changes, alternative regulations, or when the original requirement is found to be unnecessary.
