Summary
This action withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD), applicable to certain Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd., Model Galaxy airplanes. That action would have required replacement of certain existing fasteners in the aft pickup fittings of the horizontal stabilizer. Since the issuance of the NPRM, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has received information from Galaxy Aerospace Company indicating that the replacement has already been carried out on all the affected airplanes and that the replacement is now standard on all airplanes off the production line. Accordingly, the proposed rule is withdrawn.
