When a directive is cancelled and superseded, operators must comply with the new replacement directive to ensure the aircraft remains safe to fly. This cancellation prevents confusion by ensuring everyone follows the updated requirements rather than the outdated ones."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-a320-207-flight-controls-trimmable-horizontal-stabilizer-actuator-cancelled/documents"}}
