My reason for posting the above was as a result of some communications I have had with the CAA AIB relative to their communications with the FAA in respect to the R-22 and R-44 POHs.
It seems that the FAA had taken a different approach to elements of the two POHs as opposed to what the CAA Safety Regulation Group had indicated what they were going to do regarding the same material. The Safety Data Unit advised me that they were going to issue a GASIL making the material mandatory as opposed to the FAA making it a recommendation. That was in November of 2000 and to my knowledge that action is yet to be taken. The Safety office was supposed to notify me by letter when that action was taken. Nothing to date. So when I saw the above AD I thought I would post it just in case it was not disseminated within Oz and the UK. There was no malice intended.
