Rather than complying with a separate Australian requirement, operators must follow the newer European directive to ensure the aircraft's rudder remains airworthy. This harmonisation ensures Australian-registered A330s meet the same safety standards as those operating in Europe."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled","history":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled/history","analysis":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/ad-a330-106-rudder-side-shell-skin-cancelled/documents"}}
