Maintenance Release.
                For Requirement 3: Prior to issue of the next Maintenance Release after 30 June 1986 and thereafter at intervals not exceeding 1 000 hours time in service or 1 year, whichever occurs first.
                Note:  Towing release mechanisms may be overhauled by a GFA approved Inspector in accordance with the requirements contained in the relevant Airworthiness Directives issued by the GFA. The overhaul status of the towing release assembly must be adequately documented.
                The effective date of this AD is 26 February 2016.
Background:     The original issue of this AD was issued because the requirement for towing release system maintenance had not been adequately addressed in the past.
                Amendment 1 is issued to limit the applicability of the AD to Part 42 aircraft only. This AD will be repealed after the requirements are incorporated into a future amendment of the Part 42 Manual of Standards.
