Safety issue
Currently, Civil Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 42B-1(0)
and Airworthiness Bulletin AWB 02-003 Issue 2, are ambiguous
regarding required inspection intervals for Private category
aircraft airframe items. This may result in the items being
operated past the specified aircraft manufacturer's inspection
interval.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the Civil
Aviation Safety Authority review Civil Aviation Advisory
Publication (CAAP) 42B-1(0) and Airworthiness Bulletin AWB 02-003
Issue 2, in order to clearly define the required inspection
intervals affecting Private category aircraft airframe items.
