Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This instrument cancels 18 outdated Airworthiness Directives (mandatory aircraft safety rules) that previously applied to Australian aviation.

What it does:

Revokes (formally cancels) specific safety directives numbered AD/GENERAL/4, 33, 48, 57, 60, 61, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 70, 71, 73, 74, 76, 84, and 85
All cancellations took effect on 1 December 2010

Why it matters: Airworthiness Directives are mandatory safety instructions issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to address unsafe conditions in aircraft, engines, or equipment. When safety issues are permanently resolved, superseded by newer rules, or become irrelevant, CASA revokes them to reduce regulatory clutter and prevent confusion for pilots, aircraft owners, and maintenance engineers.

Who is affected: Aircraft operators, owners, and maintenance organisations who were previously required to comply with these specific general-category directives. Once revoked, the requirements in these directives no longer apply.
