CASA has determined that these ADs may be applicable to Australian registered aircraft. This Directive is issued to ensure all State of Design ADs are complied with. CASA appreciates that, due to date of aircraft manufacture or aircraft configuration and modification status, some of the ADs listed in Table 1 will not be applicable to some aeroplanes. | ||
