Summary

EASA Airworthiness Directive Cancellation Notice 2006-0145-CN is an official cancellation of the previous airworthiness directive affecting Robinson Helicopter Company R44 helicopters manufactured before 4 April 2000. This cancellation notice confirms that the previously required flight manual modification is no longer mandated, as updated flight manuals have superseded the earlier versions. The document clarifies the applicable flight manual revisions for continued safe operation of these helicopters.

What changed

EASA Airworthiness Directive 2006-0145, which required operators of Robinson R44 helicopters to use a specific revised flight manual dated 1 December 1999, has been cancelled. The cancellation acknowledges that the current Type Certificate Data Sheet mandates operation in accordance with a later flight manual revision dated 10 December 1992 with updates through 20 April 2007 or later. Therefore, the previously required flight manual modification is no longer necessary.

Why it matters

This cancellation simplifies compliance requirements for operators and maintenance organizations by removing the obligation to follow an outdated flight manual revision. It ensures that operators use the most current and approved flight manual revisions, which support safe flight operations. Compliance teams can update their documentation and training materials accordingly, reducing administrative burdens and potential confusion.
